Please make note! This is a huge problem in Canada. And the primary money laundering device is real estate. Which explains why the housing market in Vancouver and other Canadian cities is so expensive.

Why has this been allowed?
Because RCMP’s AND Federal Prosecutor’s budgets were cut. Since then, money laundering in Canada has become so prolific, Canada is known as the Snow Washing Capital of the World.

So who cut the federal budgets? Yep! Harper.

Housing costs were reasonable until late 2000’s early 2010’s.

Why were the cuts made? Libertarians don’t like paying taxes.

Here’s a very valid reason that taxes are used for services that are in the public’s best interest.
Another action contributing to the proliferation of corruption and money laundering was RCMP redesign of priorities.

Domestic security concerns turned to terrorism, even though Canada is not in significant risk. But priorities and budgets were redirected to address terrorism.
In fact the 2015 federal election was centred around Muslim immigrant fears and the threat of terrorism on Canadian soil.
A third reason for limited capacity of RCMP to investigate Canadian based money laundering was the refocusing of priorities from maintaining public safety to furthering corporate interests. This was the period of most resistance from environmentalists and FN objection to FF.
A report released early this year, in January 2019, reveals the extent of the RCMP refocus of their priorities.

Surveillance of FN activists and environmentalist activists became standard, changing the community cooperation policy of previous years.
Yes. This all happened under the Harper government.

Arthur Porter’s wife laundered money, in real estate, here in Canada (Montreal) and in US. She pleaded guilty to reduced charges and went to prison.
Vancouver, Toronto & Montreal are the cities with highest level of laundering.

Followed by Calgary and Edmonton.
