When it comes to pet insurance, Cam John says he’s learned his lesson and has dropped his insurance provider. “I wish from day one, I put money aside in a private bank account for myself,” said John The B.C. resident first purchased pet insurance when he adopted his dog Marley more than eight years ago, thinking pet insurance would give his four-legged companion the best care. John says he started out paying roughly $50 dollars a month in pet insurance, but year after year his monthly premium climbed. What’s worse, he says, the claims he’s made for Marley were mostly denied. “When you think of pet insurance, you think that they got your back,” said John.

A “ghost” cargo ship has washed up off the coast of County Cork, Ireland, brought in by the bad weather that lashed Europe in Storm Dennis. The abandoned boat was spotted on the rocks of fishing village Ballycotton by a passerby. The vessel appears to have drifted thousands of miles over more than a year, from the south-east of Bermuda in 2018, across the Atlantic Ocean. “This is one in a million,” said local lifeboat chief John Tattan. The head of Ballycotton’s Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) told the Irish Examiner newspaper he had “never, ever seen anything abandoned like that before.” So what’s the story behind this mysterious ship without a crew?

How happy would you be if an insurance company automatically scooped nearly $40,000 from an award issued after you sustained a serious injury in a car accident? For motorists in Ontario, that is the law. And like most drivers in the province, you probably didn’t know that this cash grab exists. Under the Ontario Insurance Act, an inflationary increase pushed the deductible for non-pecuniary damages — or awards for pain and suffering –up to $39,556.53 on Jan. 1 and applies to any award at or below $131,854.01. Above that threshold there is no deductible. That means if you win an award for pain and suffering, but it is at or below $39,556.53, you won’t collect a dime.

If you avoided ever referring to the Netherlands as “Holland” because you weren’t quite sure if that was correct, keep doing what you’re doing. The country kicked off 2020 by officially striking the name from use. Though Holland technically refers to only two of the Netherlands’ 12 provinces, North and South Holland, citizens have long accepted and even embraced it as another moniker for the entire country. But because those two provinces are home to popular destinations like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Leiden, and The Hague, unmanageable masses of tourists are clogging the region and inching the Netherlands towards an over-tourism crisis.
