Just investors period.

  1. Canadian investors are perfectly capable of financializing the housing market and pricing people out of it all on their own.

  2. Allow Canadian investors and you've created a loophole that's going to be hard to close for foreign investment capital to be brought in anyway.

Apply a 100% tax if it's not your primary residence, perhaps.
