Andy has kept saying this and finally I have found a link to show he is right:
http://www.carinsurancecanada.net/britishcolumbia-car-insurance.html
http://www.carinsurancecanada.net/alberta-car-insurance.html
The first link tells us about Alberta insurance and the next one tells us about B.C. insurance. And just like Andy said, all those B.C. drivers were lying when they said they got insurance cheaper than Alberta.
Let's compare evidence. I brought actual quotes from companies operating in Canada. I brought evidence of statements and quotations from real customers of ICBC. I brought detailed reports from organization that exist in B.C. with data on the differences.
You have one single web site, that I can't find an author on, I can't find any citations for, no supporting evidence. No collected data, or first hand experience. No quotes from customers. No comparative data, not so much as a single example of anything. Only a statement of hearsay that BC is one of the three cheapest (not even a hint at evidence of that), and that insurance costs between $945 to $1400, (not a single comparison to anywhere else, and no citation to support it) both of which are 75% higher than my insurance.
Now, to be honest, I'll buy that is possible premiums are cheaper in B.C., you just have to provide much better support than this un-supported, un-verified, non-credible source.
I prefer real customer statements. I value the word of the public over the word of some unnamed web site. I prefer real stories and quotes over some disconnected news article opinion page.
Better yet, tell me the car you drive, and the rate you pay, and I'll compare on my own... we can trust you unlike all those other Canadians right?
