Airbnb has basically ceased to exist in this province; it’s like we’re back in 2005.
Really? we recently rented a chalet and there seemed to be lots of listings still. But it wasn't too long after the old mtl fire, maybe it's declined a lot in the few weeks-months since.

Or did you mean in the sense of AirBnB corporate retaliating by pulling jobs out of Quebec? I seem to remember they had a decently sized presence here after buying out some local niche player (I think Luxury Retreats?)
