Canada -Tundra Wonderland?
As far as health care goes, no one dies on the streets in Canada. patients with acute health issues are given priority and given medical treatment asap. This is fact! yes things are getting expensive, but much less than some other countries. it’s expensive everywhere, sorry to inform you. just another broke expat that doesn’t have the financial means to stay in Canada. never hear of people with money complaining about their homeland! don’t like the winter? Simply jump on a plane like most retirees (WITH MONEY) and fly to a destination of your choice. Why stay there if you don’t like the winter? No money? best wishes as you get older and can’t get health insurance. another go fund me in the works! enjoy your rice soup!

Old age pensions of the World
Cheap health care in Thailand? where? government hospitals? you can’t get coverage as you get older! I considered that and know for certain where I should be in my retirement years! no one dies waiting for free medical care in Canada 🇨🇦 lay off the weed! Best wishes in your 20 metre fan room eating rice soup!😂

Old age pensions of the World
Being Canadian I too am entitled to 2 pensions. I can take my Canada pension at 60 at a reduced rate and old age pension at 65. I can wait till 65 for my Canada pension at full rate. along with free health care, free prescription drugs, dental work can be deducted from my tax to a certain amount. free long term care when I need my diapers changed! along with my work pension. I feel fortunate to live in Canada 🇨🇦

I know several guys that live in Thailand, little money, hang out in front of miles mall, eat rice soup, no health insurance, no family. Most boring life I have seen! and that’s before health issues start! then what?

Fact is many have come here, living in a shoe box, eating at tin cup, no health insurance,( hence the go fund me pages) and thought it would be great! grass ain’t always greener on the other side! thailand is no place for a poor man
