Premier Christy Clark’s home-buyers plan is short-term gain for the B.C.

What’s it to her if housing prices go up for everyone because the B.C. government plan will reduce already limited supply? As flimflams go, this one is impressively slippery and a lucrative Christmas present to the B.C. Liberals’ biggest donors the real estate industry .
