Dear Bird Talk, My summer edition of CSANews just arrived today and I have read it from cover to cover. I believe it was one of the most interesting and informative issues I have read during my years as a CSA member. First off, the Editor’s Message was very enlightening.

Dear Bird Talk, Now that the “new” government is in place, I trust that the CSA will lobby strongly to have the provisions requiring a Canadian to spend six months in his home province to qualify for Medicare coverage.

Having been visitors to Florida on a regular basis, each winter since 1991, we have had our mail forwarded by Canada Post for a period of almost six months each time.

Dear Bird Talk, The statements made in the Government Relations report of Issue 93 of CSANews are misleading. I quote the following from the Saint Lucie County Property Appraisers’ website: “Amendment 10 (Save Our Homes): Effective January 1, 1995, Amendment 10 to the Florida Constitution limits any annual increase in the assessed value of residential […]

Dear Bird Talk, We have been Florida snowbirds for the past 10 years but are becoming weary and more and more wary of the general attitude of the Florida government and big business towards snowbirds at all levels. The current insurance crisis is one aspect, the way we subsidize their homesteaders’ tax breaks, and the […]
