Equity withdrawn from homes was around 2% of GDP in 2019.
Money laundering is estimated to be around 2-4% of GDP in Canada.
Either the Liberals used a housing crisis to pad GDP, or they didn't know, and aren't smart enough to be in office.
When does Adam Vaughan resign?

3. Still, no action? Weird. International gangs made a casino too dangerous for a money laundering investigations? Weird.
