And thats the 'key' they learn it. Women/girls are the ones who are raised to fear, watch out, be aware etc. Do boys get told to respect, dont hurt, dont force etc? No not many very few. Add demeaning internet access they learn opposite. We need a sea change in raising boys. Its not up to women.

Also yesterday, Insurance Brokers of BC came out in favour of keeping the no-fault insurance system brought in by the NDP BC Conservatives' Lorne Doerkson is promising to turn it into a "hybrid model" to, he says, better serve people who are catastrophically injured in vehicle accidents

Statement on the Future of Auto Insurance in B.C.

The Insurance Brokers Association of British Columbia (IBABC) believes any discussion about the future of auto insurance in B.C. must begin with one question: What system will continue to provide effective, affordable and available auto insurance today and for the long term for all residents of B.C.? B.C. Brokers serve more than four million drivers across the province in over 900 locations, serving consumers with all their insurance needs.

Having extensively studied alternatives to B.C.’s public auto insurance system, to date we have yet to see a universally available, consumer-friendly private-market or hybrid tort option that provides greater long-term and sustainable value for B.C. drivers than the existing framework.

This does not mean that changes are without merit. ICBC must continue to evolve, improve service, control costs, deliver effective claims service and hold all drivers accountable for their behaviour by affecting rates of those drivers who cause accidents. We believe the current reforms are moving the system in the right direction, with a greater share of the financial burden being placed on those whose driving behaviour contributes to increased claims and rewards responsible drivers with better rates. The current model does still assign fault in all claims.

For more than 50 years, ICBC has provided mandatory auto insurance to British Columbians without making eligibility dependent on factors such as age, gender or marital status – factors that private insurers may consider when establishing rates. That is particularly important when considering the experience of private auto markets in other provinces. Across Canada, private insurers are facing significant challenges from rising claims costs, affordability pressures and changing regulatory environments.

In some jurisdictions, insurers have restricted physical damage coverage offerings, or withdrawn from segments of the mark…

A reason why provinces should think twice about separation: Canada's CPP pension fund ranks 6th in the world in size and 2nd in the world in performance. This does more than ensure retirement benefits. The fund also serves as an important lever in increasing investor confidence in Canada's govt.

Greer is deliberately conflating a Quebec provincial election into a judgment on the federal government. PQ won just 27.9% of the vote. That's a minority government, hardly a mandate from Quebec to reject PM Carney or Canada. The US admin is actively trying to divide Canada. Such snakes & liars!

Weiler isn't a member of the ministry. He's not a parliamentary secretary. He's not obligated to follow the government line at all times. In theory, he has a responsibility to hold the government to account. And I think maybe we're getting more used to backbenchers doing this. Which is good.
