Our government needs to wake up; Vancouver has become a horrible place to live ;it's like being a stranger in your own home. Nobody but the foreigners have anything to gain and true Canadians lose.

To protect our country and people from invasion of dirty money, we have to stop our houses selling to non-Canadian residents and stop investment immigrants. I am sure more than half of the investment immigrant are not persons really want to live here.

I would also like to agree with this petition that real estate sales should be limited to Canadian Citizens ONLY. It is terrible that my own grandson is unable to buy a home.

As a Canada, I firmly believe we should limit foreign ownership across Canada. We are creating ghost cities!

...and don't forget these wealthy off shore owners are not paying their yearly taxes, claiming that they are "low income" and don't pay for the social services they use. Sickening when you think of the people who could really use that money who really are low income.

The reason there aren't a lot of signatures yet is because this petition is not easy to locate. I found it through the Calgary herald site as the article in The Province had no link. If you want to hear people's voices then get this petition to the people! Trust me, people are fed up with all the Clark nonsense!

BC has amongst the the lowest corporate taxes in North America, so the BC leaders like to claim. It's quite easy to figure out why... Truly disgusting, when all the direct consequences for honest hard-working Vancouverites are considered. It is high time that intelligent honest people spoke up loudly about this. Not doing so only adds to the problem!

Foreign money laundering in Vancouver real estate must be stopped. It's obvious that Gregor Robertson and Christie Clark are blissfully ignorant about this situation.

It is disgusting what foreign monies and poor Prov and Fed Gov't planning has done to utterly destroy neighbourhoods and make owing property like winning a Powerball Lottery. For shame. We must stop this immediately or sooner... - MGM

I blame the prime minister.
