      Travel to the US has dramatically decreased, to the point where WestJet is canceling routes. I also heard somewhere of some snowbirds getting rid of their winter homes. There was one person I know who was in the medical field that sold ther Florida property and bought in Vancouver not long after the COVID pandemic began.

      Just because not everyone is doing it doesn’t mean no one is doing it, or whether the impact will be significant.

        Insignificant in representation, but to my family the news of my shit bag realtor uncle selling off the palm springs home he’s been crowing about for two decades to move back to the Calgary burbs with the plebes like us is news we’ve been waiting for.

        The number of times we’ll have to bring it up, “forgetting” he sold it and asking for the story again, how he had to abandon America for the country he disparaged as a socialist nightmare, will be too high.
