I know that I've heard of police/government seizing property for drug related activity. 

You'd just have to find out what it takes to get an operating permit, the fees, and the paperwork involved through your local government entity.

People used to sell you gold as the answer to when “civilization/governments collapse”.  

@Cameron Price As you mentioned, it's definitely too deep of a topic to condense the intent and decisions behind writing ~80k pages of the tax code but, to put it very simply...Tax dollars are one thing - the money the government collects from income taxes is used for Social Security, Medicare, national defense, transportation, eduction, and so on and so forth.

for simplicity we will look at property AAsking $860 000 CAD4240 sq ft.Taxes $14, 170(bore by landlord but paid by tenant)$13.50/sq ft.NOI $51, 560Least to provincial government that it was built for. 

The judge, a person empowered by the local government with a lot of authority, decides, not you.If that wasn't great enough, the court is a nexus for a lot of other things to happen.

One thing to consider is vacation rentals is for the most part unregulated and as it's popularity grows you can definitely expect the government to get involved and regulate.
