It was hardly ideal for eating, especially if you needed the fork and knife at the same time. But it was more convenient than trekking around w.... More »

Auto insurance coverage in Ontario just changed
– moneysense.ca
Next time your auto insurance policy comes up for renewal, check your price: you might find it lower than expected. But before celebrating, check your coverage: you may find that’s decreased, too.
The Ontario government has revamped standard auto insurance policies, which comes into effect today. The move is part of the government’s plan to make premiums more affordable over the years. However, some experts say the lower premiums resulting from today’s changes will come at the price of substantially decreased coverage for policies.
“What we’ve seen over the years is that premiums have come down a little bit, certainly not very much,” says Adam Wagman, President of the Ontario Trial Lawyer Assocation. “But benefits have been eroded to the point where Ontarians are going to suffer.”

Ottawa must curb soaring housing markets: OECD
– moneysense.ca
TORONTO – The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development says Ottawa needs to introduce new measures to reduce some of the risk associated with soaring home prices and household debt levels in Toronto and Vancouver.
In a report issued Wednesday, the OECD said the possibility of a housing market correction, particularly in those two markets, could threaten the country’s financial stability.
It’s not the first time that the OECD has called for measures to cool sky-high house prices in Toronto and Vancouver, which together comprise a third of the country’s real estate market. The organization made similar comments in its report last December.
Since then, Finance Minister Bill Morneau has increased the minimum down payment for homes over $500,000, a measure aimed specifically at the red-hot Toronto and Vancouver markets.
