How difficult is it for a pensioner currently living in the UK to emigrate to Canada? Are there health sevice registration problems?

The feeling I got watching my kids proudly sing the national anthem at the start of term school assembly.
The feeling I still get when I see the Calgary skyline out of the airplane window.
The fact that everyone I know who expresses a preference votes conservative.
I don't see Tony Blair's smug grin every time I turn on the TV.

I didn't experience any of the above when I lived in the UK and I'd be stupid to turn my back on any of it.
