"I find a 600% hike in profit absolutely obscene".
Your damn right that's obscene.

They jacked up my rates about 8 months ago and lowered them back to what they were to make it seem as if they're giving me a break

yeah, the mcguinty government promised a 10% reduction in car insurance (it was part of their platform during election time) and they did implement it and i personally did get a 10% reduction in my own car insurance premiums, but a lot of people didn't get this apparently.

plus, with these record profits, they SHOULD reduce rates by FAR more than 10%, especially when we in canada pay obscene amounts relative to the US, rumour has it that average rates in the US are like what? less than $500 PER YEAR? it's insane

what's worse is that a year or so ago the car insurance industry was crying foul about how they weren't making enough money to basically cover their customers, hence why they had to jack up their rates ...

surprise surprise they're now recording profits in the billions range which pisses me off so much damn greedy conniving bastards

Yup, any way to screw you.. Well i thought it was around the 10% range.. i heard it on the news.. I'm not gona cry about it as my insurance is way cheaper then it use to be.. But i see some of you guys saying what you pay, and i think its rediculous.. Paying for other peoples mistakes..
