Just out of curiosity, what Provence/City were you in, and how did you pay for your health issue if you're expatriated? Good information for those of us considering the expat option.
I was in both Saskatchewan and Alberta. Saskatoon, Edmonton, and Calgary. Yes, I was in hospital in all three - long story, but it was part of my complaint with what was going on.
I have comprehensive international private health insurance that covers everywhere (including Canada - including the US, for that matter). It will cover pretty much anything I need to have done in Canada. That being said, I ran in to an issue while attempting to get the hospital(s) to accept my insurance. I'm a Canadian by birth, and, as I was living overseas, as opposed to merely in another province, my access to provincial health insurance kicked back in the minute I arrived in Canada.
I am currently having that reviewed by both my private counsel and a Canadian tax attorney, as I don't want reactivation of healthcare to bring me in to the tax nexus. FYI - When you expatriate, you have to go out of your way to cancel your driver's, and your health insurance card, etc. If you don't, it is apparently much more difficult to claim non-residency for tax purposes if they challenge.
Still, it is good to know that if everything goes off the rails and I am destitute and in need of (admittedly substandard) medical care, I can always crawl back to Canada.

The Muslim immigration minister has decided to increase Canada's annual immigrations admissions from 40,000 to 350,000 by 2021. My fellow Canadians get ready for your cultural enrichment, Allsalem Allakam and Alllahu Ackbar!

Thank you Mr. Prime Minister!
This post is fake news bro, go back and read the article, Canada’s annual intake isn’t 40,000, never has been. All the same 350K is a lot, nice meme anyway.

RE: The Canada Political Thread
Here's a fun math problem.
Let's say you have a reproductively-stagnant native population. And, you decide to import immigrants at a rate of approximately 1% of your entire population per year. Now, let's say that those immigrants reproduce (in G1) at an average rate four times higher than that of your native population. How long will it take until the immigrant class occupies a greater share of the population than the native class?
No. I'm just kidding...
Didn't you guys ever watch Little Mosque on the Prairie? They're all just English-speaking, joke-cracking, Western-loving doctors. It'll be fiiiinnnnneeee.
Tail Gunner started an excellent thread on obtaining citizenship in various countries by investment. Many other programs exist for citizenship and residency through various means.

RE: The Canada Political Thread
Canada resort staff were fired for being white - tribunal
Quote:A Canadian human rights tribunal says seven resort employees were discriminated against for being white.
The Human Rights Tribunal in the westernmost province of British Columbia awarded them more than C$173,000 ($132,000, £102,000).
Resort owner Kin Wa Chan said he wanted to hire Chinese employees because he believed they were cheaper.
The tribunal found the seven staff were forced out in August 2016, and replaced with Chinese workers.
Tribunal chair Diana Juricevic ruled this qualified as discrimination based on race, which is against British Columbia's human rights code.
She dismissed the complaint of an eighth former employee.
"Over a period of months, Mr Chan repeatedly said that he wanted to replace Caucasian employees with ethnically Chinese employees to reduce labour costs," Ms Juricevic wrote in her decision, published last week.
Mr Chan bought the Spruce Hill Resort and Spa in rural British Columbia in 2015, and began extensive renovations in January the next year.
The resort operated at reduced capacity during the renovations, and so Mr Chan let many of the staff go.
Seven of the employees that were kept on during the renovations ended up filing the human rights complaint, after they were fired the following summer or resigned in the course of several days because of what they described as a hostile work environment.
The largest award, of more than C$62,000, went to Clare Fast, who had worked for the resort for 20 years as fitness and human resources manager.
Ms Fast testified she heard Mr Chan say that he would not have to pay Chinese employees overtime.
Her belief that she was fired and replaced with a Chinese employee was corroborated by her colleague and fellow complainant, resort bookkeeper Melonie Eva.
In a diary entry dated 20 July 2016, Ms Eva wrote that "[Mr Chan] keeps saying he wants Chinese people" and "[Ms Stocks] and [Ms Fast] must go".
On 3 August, Mr Chan told Ms Fast her human resources tasks would be given to a new employee, an ethnically Chinese student with no human resources experience. With her hours significantly reduced, Ms Fast asked to be laid off.
In addition to the findings of discrimination based on race, the tribunal also found that Mr Chan sexually harassed Ms Eva, the resort's bookkeeper, on a business trip to China to purchase supplies for the renovations.
On the trip, the tribunal heard Ms Eva was dismayed to find he had only booked one hotel room for the two of them.
According to her testimony, she became upset and told Mr Chan that they were not sharing a room.
She remembers Mr Chan saying words to the effect "relax" and that "in China, we do things the Chinese way".
She told him she was married and would not share the room, and he booked her another one.
He said the single room was an attempt to save money, but the tribunal did not find his testimony credible.

RE: The Canada Political Thread
The government should seize the resort and deport that fucking Chinese dick head back to China. Of course they want to hire FOB Chinese who won't complain about such trivial matters as breaks, unpaid overtime, paid vacations, health care benefits, etc. You can abuse the FOBs physically, psychologically and sexually and they won't do anything because they are unaware of their rights in Canada, great!There's some issues like this that are really pushing things to a boiling point, another one is the real estate prices in places like Vancouver and Toronto that are being driven up by mass immigration. Our standards of living are being driven down and we can see this all over the country, especially in cases like this, our wages will be undercut and eventually we'll all be living like peasants, fuck that.

RE: The Canada Political Thread
So the way things are looking, Prime Minister dipshit and co are forging full steam ahead to sign this UN Global Migration Pact. As if that wasn't enough, Soros is working at getting local pols involved at the mayoral level:
Mayors Migration Council to Launch in Marrakesh Ahead of UN Conference on Migration
Quote:On the eve of the historic Intergovernmental Conference on the Global Compact for Migration, mayors from around the world will gather in Marrakesh on Dec. 8 to launch the Mayors Migration Council.
Quote:The Council will be represented in Marrakesh by members of its Leadership Board, which includes the mayors of Los Angeles, Amman, Milan, Kampala, Athens, Bristol, Freetown, and Montreal.
Quote:“Cities are key players in developing and implementing innovative migration programs. They are leaders in the migration process and know what works and what’s needed on the ground. That’s why mayors around the world came together in order to influence the outcome of the Global Compact for Migration,” Montreal Mayor Valerie Plante said. Cities were not formally party to UN negotiations.
“The Mayors Migration Council, working with existing networks, will ensure that local governments have a strategic and powerful voice on the international front on the issue of migration, so that polices are grounded in the actual experience of cities, which is where most of the world’s migrants and refugees live,” Plante added.
I don't know what any of that means, but I'm guessing it doesn't mean less cultural enrichment for Montrealers.
Here's the money shot:

RE: The Canada Political Thread
Trudeau trying his hardest to look cool to Trevor Noah, pledges $50M of Canadian Tax Payer Dollars, None of that $50 million will go to Canadians.
It’s going to foreign countries.
It’s being taken from us, taken from Canadian taxpayers, and sent outside our borders
Take note of how desperate Trudeau is to win the approval of a Comedy Central TV host. He apologizes to Noah, and as ‘compensation,’ is taking $50 million of our dollars and giving it away.
That money could have been spent on Veterans. It could have been spent helping the Alberta oil industry. It could have been spent helping people in Oshawa. It could have been spent on any number of things within our country that would help Canadian citizens.
THE SAME TRUDEAU: Some veterans want more than Ottawa can afford, Trudeau tells town hall

RE: The Canada Political Thread
The Liberals released their terror report, they were largely dismissive of the risk of returning radical fighters from the ME and also stated that if Canada were to bring back "Canadian" children of these extremists, then they would have to bring their parents too, to avoid "orphaned Jihadists". Just bring the kids back, leave the parents in the shithole and give the kids up for adoption to some Christian families. Although if they did that they'll be giving them to progressive homos.
"Overall, Canada's national terrorism threat level is medium, meaning a violent act of terrorism "could occur." That is the third position on a five-point scale and it is unchanged from October 2014.
The principal terrorist threat to Canada continues to stem from individuals or groups who are inspired by violent Sunni Islamist ideology and terrorist groups, such as ISIL and al-Qaida, the report says."
Oh and
"Canada also remains concerned about threats posed by those who harbour right-wing extremist views," the report adds.

RE: The Canada Political Thread
Holy shit Trudeau has pissed off so many of our allies and trading partners this year that it’s getting hard to keep track, our diplomats and foreign service officials must be working a lot of overtime. India (supporting Sikh terrorists), Saudi Arabia (meddling in domestic affairs), US (NAFTA, G7 Summit, etc) and now China (Huwei lady) who’s next?
How has any of this benefited Canadians, are we getting better trade deals or increased investment out of any of this or is it just moral grand standing and virtue signalling by PM Peoplekind and his merry band of shit Libs?
