I'm sorry but snowbirds are not screwing the system, it is the other way around.
So as a retired Canadian by birth who may prefer to reside outside Canada more than 180 days annually I do not understand why Ontario puts my medical coverage in jeopardy.
I do not contribute less to either the Canadian Government or the Ontario Government as I still pay my income and municipal taxes.
I pay for out of country medical insurance to cover my time out of the country, so I am actually less of a liability to the Ontario health costs.
Yet, there is a complex calculation allowing them to discontinue my coverage, which I paid for since my early twenties and continue to pay for now.
Who is screwing who to cut costs
