" What most people want is the inertia provided by Canadian society"

No - most wealthy people moving to Vancouver could care less about Canada really. They want a stable place to live and park their money - and a nice backup passport if things go crazy back home.

They are not economic migrants, i.e. doctors and engineers looking for jobs - they are business owners parking their families and children and money in Vancouver.

Economic migrants go to Toronto for jobs and opportunity.
