I mean, the insurance industry in canada... is certainly something. It's a state enforced necessity, can't drive without it, and several measures have been taken (specifically in Alberta) to make sure that if you try to pursue competitive rates, it'll cost you more than just staying with your current company.

Huh, so its another obamacare style issue

And everytime they rose rates illegally, they just apologized, then asked for permission.

Pretty much, no way to not get screwed by insurance here, just gotta sit in the corner and watch it abuse your wallet

or just use public transit. one of the two.

Apologize for it. How canadian.

So insurance, enforced by the govt. Cant turn a profit or be competitive. Well they must know something I dont then.

Yeah, but it's an oopsie then not changing anything, like a kid apologizing in grade school.

Oh, they can turn a profit

They're not state owned.

But why the anti competition rule?

if you knew the canadian governments history with this stuff, actually, great example, during WW2 canada produced the sten SMG i believe it was called, it was absolute trash. The reason for it being that the prime minister's nephew had a friend who's father owned a factory, or something along those lines.

So probably just because insurance lobbyists asked, or because someone knew a guy. You wouldn't believe the amount stuff that goes on in Alberta, lot of people working Exxon and Shell fell to their death in a field.

So to prevent nepotisim? Wouldnt that be throwing the baby with the bathwater?

No, it's not to prevent nepotism, it's more likely to help those individuals.

Or to prevent a monopoly I guess. One company having a really big advantage over others

At the result of deals being the same.

But the Star System, in alberta, just makes something that acts like a monopoly anyways.

so there's no point to having multiple competitors, since they cannot compete in any sense.

So good and bad?
