I am 100% for banning Airbnb but I don’t understand why you think this is the simple solution when the problem is that there aren’t enough homes.

Maybe not in Nova Scotia but in Ontario, Quebec and BC there is almost enough already built. It just sits empty

That is not true. Vacancy is pretty much zero in all the major Canadian cities. There is a vacancy tax in BC where they actually measure vacancy and it is extremely low.
