      Airbnbs were already illegal in the old port before that event. The company still allowed them to be posted. I’m quite sure the province didn’t ban them too, there are still legal postings. Unfortunately, not much happened after this event. Media pressure made it so that Airbnb closed a bunch of illegal ads, but without legislation and enforcement its only temporary.

      How did they end up banning AirBnBs? I was just browsing Montreal AirBnBs yesterday ( funny enough).

        I didn’t really follow up on it. Maybe it was just politician saying stuff or it’s banned but not enforced so nobody cares

          Tbh I never looked before all this went down (cause why would I lol), so maybe there were changes and it wasn’t a “all airbnbs are banned” sort of thing. Maybe it removed a lot of listings.
