Not sure if changed, but as of 5 years ago, Canadia did not stamp passports on exit. The USA stamps on enter and exit. So as long as you could show a return plane ticket from USA to Canuckistan and had a good excuse, you could just rinse and repeat the 180 days. Some just overstayed and then also did the rinse-repeat. Naturally, people would just cancel the return flight portion after arriving. The maple leaf may Track that better now. By god, they better.

As someone who crosses borders for a living I can 100% confirm that the US and Canada share entry/exit info.
There's even a searchable I-94 database that's open to the public.
That said, spending a winter in Terrace would be easy border-wise. It's the healthcare coverage that would be a little tricky.

OK. But that is new. https://www.cicnews.com/2020/07/cbsa...s-0714898.html I guess the overstay era is now a thing of the past.

You'll read that all over the internet on Canadian immigration attorney's websites. But I don't think that is an accurate statement of the law. The law does not say an American is limited to 180 days in each calendar year. The law says Americans get a 180 day visa each time they enter. The cya, simplified advice is that Americans are limited to 180 days in a calendar year. But, for example, if you stayed 180 days, left for five months, and then returned for 180 days, then left again, I think you would be ok even though you would have stayed for more than 180 days in a single calendar year because you would have strong evidence that you do not live full time in Canada. But if you stayed for six months, left for a week, and then came back for another six months, you would likely get denied because it would be evident you are living in Canada full time. Can I guarantee this? No, but any entry into Canada is at the discretion of the border guard so I can't guarantee anything. And as Ted says, it is milking the social safety net that they are really concerned about with illegal Americans.
Bottom line, we need an American to buy that new condo in Rossland and report back to us on how many days they can get away with staying in Canada each calendar year.

I can't guarantee this. But I can corroborate this. And things may have changed. That's why people that do this like enter via airport with a return flight ticket. When the see the return flight, they wave you on. It can be for 2 weeks later or 3 weeks later even. You are entitled to stay 180 days after entry. If you don't have a job (they ask this often) and/or don't have a return ticket then the flags get raised. There are good forums online that cater to the crowd wishing to do the 180day cycle thing.

I never had problems spending winters in Canada. I'd bring a bank statement so they knew I had money and wouldn't be trying to steal a job from a Canadian and that was that. But I also never tried to stay year round.

From Ripped Bum its only a 2-3 hr drive to where you can cross the completely unprotected American border to the southarn tip of the panhandle and get Hyderized,
so you will have technically been out of Canada, there is a Canadian border control on the way back and they will probably be fucking useless
I can't believe that Trump didnt put up a wall

My non lawyer self agrees with you. Also, if an American is living in Terrace, not getting healthcare and other govt benefits, and paying Canadian sales tax, is that a negative to Canada? While I know the law isn't written like that I could see how it is something where as long as you aren't causing any problems they are just looking for you to leave at least once every 180 days. You get on their radar for something and they may have a problem with you being there more than 184 days a year.

Re: Water rights - WTF is up with Nestle?! I've heard of them being controversial in the past, but seems they're doing their part to screw over the San Bernardino mountain area:
Nestlé threatened with cease-and-desist over alleged illegal water use

Interesting that they sold NA holdings a few months before legal action started. Think they got wind and split? They also take a shit load of water from Shasta area - crystal geyser- I think. It is nuts how much we fight over water just to export it.

The draft order comes two months after Nestlé, which is based in Switzerland, sold its US- and Canada-based water brands to equity firms One Rock Capital Partners and Metropoulos for $4.3bn.

Mostly agreed. There are places where it seems to make sense, kinda like there are places where canned beer makes sense, but I'd be shocked if most bottled water consumption in the US wasn't a matter of convenience (i.e. can't be bothered to refill a container) or a taste preference vs local tap water. Maybe a little less so during a pandemic, as using a water fountain right now does seem a bit sketchy.
As to the "what about Flint?" question, waive the tax for those who don't have potable water in their primary residence.

Up 14% in a year and this doesn't take into account any upgrades/improvements as all the pics are still before we gutted. House across the street, 200sq ft bigger, and a "horse lot" (just over 3 acres I have 2) waaaaaay outdated just went for $399k.
We bought foreclosure..205k cash, then financed a 30yr at 3.15% at $205k. Put about $90k into it.
Cray cray.

Lots of nasty water in the central valley. Among other places.

Agree - Almonds should be grown where there’s more water.
Almonds are a $6 billion a year industry and 70% of the crops are exported.
Republicans in CA, each POTUS for the last 50 years, and conservative politicians elsewhere have been passionately arguing to halt the tree nut industry because it uses too much water and they’ve been overridden by environmentally irresponsible liberals.
Yep. Makes complete sense to lay it on the fledgling Biden administration or Governor/legislators in CA (who don’t want to get a penny of substantial Tree Nut PAC money) to stop the almond industry and move it somewhere less arid.
Should we also expect politicians in coal mining states to fully embrace solar and wind power?
