Hi, Doc.  

Tried to determine just what your concern was.  Still in the dark a bit.  Some examples of what you mean by "immigrant investors"--as opposed to "overseas investors" would be helpful.  Both appear to be "foreigners."  Oh, wait!  No, they're not.  If they "bought Canadian citizenship, doesn't that make them (roll eyes) Canadians?? 

But, you're right, in my view, when you say "Who cares" to the news that "Overseas investors made up 3% of home sales in Oct. in Metro Van."  Exactly.  Just 3%? About the same as EVERYWHERE else in BC?  Not worth talking about.  Even 10% wouldn't raise my eyebrows.  

Elsewhere in today's B&M, the CMHC head says it's too easy to point a finger at foreigners.  No kidding.  n3%?  6%  Even 10%?  Easy...but silly.
