"Sell the house"

Many seniors like their neighbourhoods and have been there for decades. Moving would be traumatic for them.

Aging and dying in Canada is about being divested of everything you have by everyone you come in contact with - so have a lot and try to last as long as you can.

BC has a big problem with extended care because people who never lived here retire here and use our pool of money.
Typically someone will work in Alberta and pay into Alberta for their whole working life and then retire to BC in their waning years when they start to use the healthcare system a lot more. Its a complex thing to get the money to the people who need it where they need it.

Massive budget deficit and yet Alberta spending money on those that have "looked after themselves". Makes one wonder why we would need programs to look after those that look after themselves...oh...yeah...that trough thing...

But they've paid their own way.

Public debt is everybody's business...well I guess those taking out more than they're putting in can be excluded...if you feel those on the public teat should have no input

3 months before you have no choice but turn in your DL and health cards.



You're right, for some reason I thought it was 6.


"New (and returning) residents are required to complete a wait period consisting of the balance of the month in which residence in British Columbia is established, plus two months before benefits can begin. The date residency is considered to have been established is determined by the Ministry of Health based on a number of factors, including the type of immigration status held. For some persons the wait period doesn’t start when they arrive in the province - it starts later. For example, a person who arrives as a tourist or visitor may later receive a change in immigration status in Canada that qualifies the person for MSP coverage."
