Those moving expense claims are only if your working after the move, are they not? That may be the case, depending on what we do. I did claim it here when I moved from Clear Lake into Brandon, {I was working}, but not from Thompson to Clear Lake as I was retiring.

You do not have to be moving to a job as long as you find a job within 90 days I believe.

We moved here in Aug with no job to go to and I found one in Oct I was able to claim everything.

Bill are you saying here that you pay less provincial income tax than Manitoba. At $120/month for the two of us we would need to then save close to $1400/year on income tax to break even.

We also have an auto insurance discussion going. You still do have government auto insurance. Is it full insurance or do you need to supplement it with private?

either or. you can go ICBC for everything but collision through ICBC is generaly more expensive than privat if you have a good driving record.

I don't know what insurance is like in manatoba, but I pay about 600 for basic, and comprehensive on my diesel truck. only thing I don't have is collision but my trucks paid off.

for the BC medical I would call the BC goverment that deals with that, if your retired I can't see them charging you that.. I don't know anyone personaly that pays over 36 bucks per month, but I don't know many millionairs either

ok I just did some looking and full rate is 60 bucks per month, family of 2 is 109/month and 3 or more is 120/month. that is based on a parson making over 30,000/year, i don't know if they could pensions as income for this purpose, so you would have to make some inquires.

Steve there are a lot of wealthy people nit that far from your place to bad they all live on the river.

sorry it's been a while since I have been on here. What I am saying is you do pay health care in Manitoba it gets claimed on the income tax return out there. Here we pay for it but it is graduated. I believe if you are under 29,000 family income its free and about there is a fee depending on you income. You may have to pay 120 per month it all depends on your income.
