They are the dead from the Jan. 29 massacre at a mosque in the Quebec City suburb of Sainte-Foy. Among the million Muslims of Canada, they were our people, murdered while at prayer, and the horror of it drew our flags to half-mast and summoned thousands of Canadians to mourn in small candle-lit gatherings and in street vigils from Iqaluit to Victoria, and from Halifax to Calgary…

Your insurance history does have an impact on how much you pay for auto insurance. If you have a lapse/gap in your insurance history, it can affect your overall rating and increase premiums. If you didn’t add yourself to another policy as a driver you would have a gap in your insurance history. Adding yourself as a driver to your wife’s policy is a great way to keep your insurance history unbroken for when you buy another vehicle again…
