Yeah I’ve heard from a few people they pay less for auto insurance in Alberta vs BC. But there are many options for insurance that will effect your rates so unless they are comparing the exact same plan it’s hard to compare.
I suspect it’s a mix of private insurance and all the large pick-ups used in the oil and gas industry. It probably spreads to all the other drivers a little. There are a lot of contractors with big expensive truck sitting at around $100,000 in value putting around oil and gas country.
I think it’s been quietly editted or the wrong link was posted. Here’s a brand new article from CBC. It seems to be break news.
