I have no way to varify this,but on a local talk show,a few people questioned if it was cheaper or not.One lady with a proclaimed clean driving record said it cost $2200 to insure her '06 cavalier in BC ,in Ont she is paying $1400...and if you have gov ins ,you can't sue because its all considered no fault...correct me if I'm wrong
I cannot answer those questions either. I don't know if they go by regions either.
(like if this lady lived in metro Vancouver ,(highest rate), to somewhere rural in Ontario) ?
I'm not even sure it's a no fault clause... doesn't make sense to me, someone can have 10 accidents within a year and pays the same?
I doubt that.
I know, Klein (our last premier) implemented a $5000.00 maximum pain and suffering amount. But, that was turned down in the provincal court.
And sure enough insurance rates went back up again.
Maybe BC has that ? No pain and suffering at all ? I do not know, either.
But, if Alberta ever wanted to start a govermnet auto-insurance, I surely would promote it.
Give the others a run for the money !
And if those companies don't smarten up soon, we might just get one.
Ontario is cheaper then western Canada on many things, booze, cigs, maybe insurance too.
But, what I do know, we pay more then our neighbors. Thats what started Klein making changes to that , too.
Vancouver is a hot spot for stolen cars.. within minutes on the boat, overseas.
But, your right, now this topic doesn't belong on this board.
Because, I really thought goverment insurance worked very well.
Who would trust a private company with goverment pension ?
Or with goverment Unemployment funds ?
Atleast we know the goverment backs it up at all times.
Private ones can go under any minute of the day.
US banking and housing system should have proved that. (first sign of recession).
Now, failed pensionplans at the big 3 Automobile companies.
Still not good enough to convince goverment back up is best.
So, wait till what happens next, I guess. Maybe total failure of Medicare to wake them up ?
