The international couple, who Ryan say split their time between Europe and New York City and are self-made, also bought the lot next door for an additional $7,500,000 to build a guest house and tennis courts.

The buyers were able to purchase the home because Whistler is exempt from a new law that prohibits foreigners from buying homes in Canada.

You understand that global economic stability relies on people gambling their lives on a dream, right? Well, that and pure willful ignorance.

What would the journalists do? Try to explain that to people, and that nobody has figured out a way to fix it yet?

It'd be a start at least.

There are a few independent news sources that do this tho. They just don't get the traffic MSM does.
