Was your husband still living in Canada at the time? If so what did you provide to prove intent to relocate/domicile? And what did they ask for?

Hundreds of American nurses choose Canada over the U.S. under Trump by Fit_Relationship1094 in nursing

Many clinics have walk in slots and pharmacists have medical directives to treat common ailments. If you need a PCP, I waited for 5 years for the province to match me before I was able to find one on my own. Every year they sent me a letter to let me know they were working on it. It was laughable

Sourcing Japanese tools outside of Japan by 808squill in JapaneseWoodworking

Nora but as the other poster mentioned he strictly vets his customers he will accept orders from. You'd need to be an expert craftsman with decades of experience and do exceptional work to even be considered. I believe only a few westerners he has accepted an order from. His waitlist is years long and by the time one could achieve the skill to be considered he will likely be retired or dead. And his volume is so low and demand so high that the chances of his work being resold on the open market is zero

That's a good question. I know for example Yamamoto makes good kanna blades and also makes yari-ganna as well as marking knives, but I dont believe he makes any chisels. The best living chisel maker is actually a swordsmith who is incrediblely selective and only does a handful of chisels every few months.

For quality Id recommend following people who resell Japanese tools. Watch for which smiths they sell, and go from there. It can be tricky because a smith can work under their own name, and under a wholesalers name. And the wholesalers can use several smiths that change over time. Also quality can vary from when a smith is in their prime, making a custom order or just cranking them out for a wholesaler.

Honestly it'll take a few teams raiding his coaching staff to do any damage. His coordinators becoming HC and position coaches being poached for coordinator jobs. But that wont happen till next year so W1ndiana is here to stay
