I totally disagree with you Michael. The primary purpose of any government is not limited to providing and maintaining social order, but also to protecting individual rights and freedoms including regulating economic activities... to enable stable and secure environment where citizens can thrive and reach their full potential. The real estate industry is a major player in the Canadian economy. We see how changes to interest rates literally move mountains. In the same vain, the expectations are that, sets of matching regulations would be in place to ensure protective shields for all stakeholders. But here, we have a situation where a company like Vandyke, takes people's hard earned money, keep lying to them with displays go f*ck yourself attitude... even after screwing up plans and lives of so many. And no one goes to jail! Meanwhile, a petty stealing of 5k would send you to one. It just goes to show the real reflection of how very weak the government policy here is. One, so lacking in basics of protection. For years now, other than pieces of guesses, almost no one understands what the true situation with the project is. Many lives have become badly affected, and hopes still hanging on nothing...as there are still no clear path on what is next. I can recall the media at some point reporting the ugly situation. Hoping in turn, the government would pick up from there. No way! Yet, we perpetually pay taxes. Instead they saw an opportunity to a device a means of sapping taxes from the accumulated down payments. Payments, victims still aren't sure they can pull back.
