    It sucks. I know it’s not the only reason we’re in this mess but I think it would give us a big break is we banned Airbnb.

    • Airbnb hosts with over 100,500 listings in Canada.
    • Only 17% of total Airbnb revenues in Canada is generated by true home sharing, where the owner is present during the guest’s stay. This means that in 2016/17, entire-home rentals comprised 83% of total Airbnb revenues in Canada.
    • Approximately 7-in-every-10 units on the Airbnb distribution platform are entire-home rentals, with guests having complete and sole access of the entire unit during their stay.
    • 1 in every 3 units in Canada is rented out for more than 90 days per year and generates 71% of total Airbnb revenues in the past 12-month period.

    That’s a lot of empty homes.
