It would be relatively straightforward to block Monopoly getting played should the bubble burst--legislatively speaking--but it would require governments to intervene against it's donor class.
Hawaii's post-disaster response is a good template: the government has threatened to buy land to prevent investors and speculators from doing the same. In Canada, this would be like a bizarro-world version of Doug Ford's Greenbelt giveaway: where the government buys more land, and more houses, to block speculators.
I can't see it happening, because our leaders are either feckless cowards (on the left) or complete corporate toadies (on the right), but I can dream.
