Foreign landlord fails to pay taxes, CRA goes after tenant - Mander

Can’t they put a lien on the big, solid, not going anywhere asset the landlord happens to have in the country?
This sounds like the judge is quite aware that it’s bullshit, but the law says it’s supposed to work this way so that’s how it ends up being. As in, the law needs to be rewritten to adapt to modern times where you cannot just tar&feather the landlord.
