US taxation
The new/old law is based on Canadians spending more than 240 days in a single calendar year and those owning property in the USA. http://beforeitsnews.com/opinion-conservative/2013/10/obama-admin-n...

They don't seem to realize that if a Canadian spends more then 180 or 200 days depending on province, they no longer have health care in Canada and their travel insurance is void. Having valid provincial health care is a requirement for most Snowbird insurance policies.
Your Statement is not quite true if you live in Alberta. If you are going to travel for a extended amount of time outside of Alberta (more than 6 months) you may extend it up to 2 years (24 months) for travel, personal visits or educational leave but you need to notify them while still in Alberta. We have done this a couple of times.
OUTSIDE of ALBERTA HEALTHCARE COVERAGE

Gruffy, you really need to move to a great province such as Alberta and then you would not have the problem of losing your health coverage if you are gone for an extended period of time. So next time exempt Alberta residents from your general quote with regard to losing health coverage.
Yes and pay 10% tax instead of 5he 5% I pay now. I'm also out of province for 200 days every year since 2004. Sort of uses up the Alberta travel exemption.
And best of all there is not a sour gas well within 500 miles.
