Seeking Canadian (Ontario) auto, RV trailer, and home insurance
My current round of insurance with TD / Primmum is due up. I have a 2021 Jeep Gladiator (financed) and a 2019 KIA Rio (no loan), house (no mortgage), and 2016 17' travel trailer (no loan) with...
My current round of insurance with TD / Primmum is due up. I have a 2021 Jeep Gladiator (financed) and a 2019 KIA Rio (no loan), house (no mortgage), and 2016 17' travel trailer (no loan) with them. Been with them for many many years. Supposedly have a group plan through my employer Ontario Power Generation. I'm not so sure anymore. While it's just me (47m) right now, my 17 year old son will likely get added Friday when he gets his G2 🤞.
I wonder if anyone could recommend a company that would do good for all, or separate for each. I also have some artwork and camera equipment I would probably tack on.
The letter I got from TD also said if I don't put a tracker on my Jeep (for theft) my premium will go up. They will pay for it, but if they supply it I won't even consider it. I don't want them following me! Giggle does that enough.Searching "best xxxxx" will always give you sites that make money from the reviewed businesses. I won't trust any of them.

So I don't know about all of you, but I'm pretty sick of terrible healthcare in the USA.
So I'm starting this thread for all of us to rant about our personal issues with healthcare. I'll be writing my rant into it's own reply later (it's a bit of a long one), but I wanted to start the thread now to give others a chance to start venting.
Rules of Rant Thread:
- Don't argue a rant
- Thread is likely going to be incredibly USA-centric. USA healthcare is assumed unless stated otherwise.
- Rants should involve people no more than 2 degrees of separation from yourself. This thread is to vent about your personal experiences, not hearsay from total strangers.
In order to foster further discussion, and include those without a rant: Here are some things I personally would appreciate and expect for replies, but others might not.
- Explanation of how things would work out for you if you were in a similar situation
- Advice for dealing with any ongoing or future problems
