OK, where to start on this - it was reported in Saturday's Globe and Mail - I'd include the link but I'm not savvy enough to get it to work without sidescroll.
I don't live anywhere near Tremblant, which is 130 km north of Montreal in the Laurentians, but this kind of news angers me, for all kinds of reasons, among them that the news was reported in such a way that we should feel 'honoured' that 'stars' such as these would consider Canadian wilderness worthy of their presence...or maybe it's because in the Douglas/Zeta-Jones universe, they like Tremblant because of its "proximity to Bermuda" - by private jet.

I dunno, I can't get my head around this, not to mention the fact that it always stuns me when I realize that vast tracts of prime Canadian land are for sale to the highest bidder and we're supposed to think this is normal and proper.

Edited to correct sidescroll.

Last time I looked Michael Douglas owned about a dozen homes so Tremblant's proximity to Bermuda isn't overly relevant [as an aside, his mother was Bermudian so it's not surprising that one of his homes is there].
