In 1950, Joshua Norman Haldeman and his wife moved 6,000 miles away to Pretoria, South Africa, leaving behind one of Canada's largest chiropractic practices, a huge mansion, and a private airplane.

“Biographical sources confirm that Joshua Norman Haldeman, a prominent chiropractor and political figure in Canada, moved his family to Pretoria, South Africa, in 1950. He was a leader in the Canadian chiropractic community, serving on national boards and helping to establish the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. He obtained his pilot's license in 1948 and owned a single-engine plane, which he disassembled and shipped to South Africa. While sources confirm he had a successful practice and a large home, the claim that it was one of Canada's "largest" is difficult to quantify definitively, though his prominence suggests it was substantial. Context: Haldeman's move to South Africa was ideologically motivated; he was a supporter of the apartheid system. He did not leave his airplane behind but rather disassembled it and took it with him to South Africa, where he and his wife became known for their extensive flights.”
