it should continue to grow too, as the trump faction makes it much more difficult for talented foreigners to move to the US. it's not just all the canadian engineers who won't be getting down here, it's also indian and european engineers who'll be landing in places like vancouver rather than stay in their home countries. canada's express entry system is the closest a western country currently has to open immigration of skilled professionals which is a huge draw.
in vancouver's case, it's golden days ahead if you can stop the self-inflicted harm. once someone finally gets wise to the fact that your housing costs are high because you insist on keeping your city 70% zoned single family homes, maybe at the provincial level it'll be upzoned then, with time, builders can bring housing costs down to reflect wages. once that happens, it'll be a boomtown like they had in calgary for oil back in the day.
