Paradise Canada

Episode Synopsis

Vancouver is one of the most livable cities in the world, according to several lists, with a thriving film industry, an important port, a mild climate and a relaxed lifestyle. But the city also shows how much the housing market can be derailed by the big money from foreign investors. Especially prosperous Chinese see the relatively nearby metropolis as the ideal place to keep their (illegal) money safe. Vancouver has become one of the cities where house prices and disposable income differ the most. Homeless people occupy the streets of the center with their tents.
