Hey all, my partner and I have decided to tie the knot, so I’m going to be on my way from the US to Canada.
I’ve been looking all around the .gov websites, but I am looking for other helpful sites, or maybe even ‘baby’s guide to Canadian stuff’. I’ve been up there a lot so I know how every day life feels, but have no realistic idea about taxes or insurance or voting, etc etc. So yeah, any help would be appreciated.
In Canada, healthcare is a provincial responsibility and so it might be different across the country. With medications especially, we have a patchwork of overlapping rules and support systems. The new national pharmacare system was supposed to be the first step towards fixing that mess, but unfortunately with the new government:

Also no problem and welcome to Canada! :)
