Not sure if the intent of this thread comes from some place of priviledge or from some weird place where Canada's preferences outweigh those of our Caribbean neighbours. Either way, not happening.

The Carribbean viewpoint is they desperately need investment. Otherwise the many millions of their folk already on the continental mainland will continue to flood to miami, new york, toronto, montreal.
We have every interest in keeping our wealth within the reach of our fellow Canadians.
The idea of privilege is simple. The rich already goto the Caribbean, the idea would be something along the lines of making it possible for middle class Canadians to do the same, without loosing the tax base.
Canada and Norjway are the only two major countries that don't already have a system for going to a snow free place in winter.
Our current system is to pump money into Florida hoping that many of these people don't decide to stay up there.
We're one presidents: tax, immigration, and healtcare reform away from yet another great southern brain drain.
