The same thing is happening here in Australia (foreign investment). Frankly, this might backfire for Trudeau, as yes housing prices are insane, but a lot of voters also own houses.

Labor in Australia tried something similar at the last election with IIRC removal of negative gearing (tax cuts for investment properties), they lost.
