Ontario Auto Insurance Just Changed: What Every Driver Needs to Know Before July 1

  If you drive in Ontario, this affects you — starting July 1, 2026 , the biggest shake-up to Ontario's auto insurance system in decades is here. Nine benefits that were automatically included in every policy for years are now optional extras you have to pay for separately — or go without. The Ford government is calling it consumer choice. Critics are calling it a coverage cliff. Either way, Ontario drivers need to understand what just changed before their next policy renewal — because the default "basic" plan is now much leaner than what you're used to. From Standard Package to À La Carte Ontario's auto insurance has always included a bundle of Statutory Accident Benefits (SABs) — no-fault coverage that kicks in when you're hurt in a collision, regardless of who caused it.

The tanks moved into five neighborhoods after midnight, leaving a trail of destruction and panic among the population.

The Al-Mawasi area, further west of the coastal enclave, bore the brunt of heavy shelling and gunfire. Displaced Palestinians, who had already fled their homes due to previous Israeli strikes, sought refuge in tent camps. However, even these temporary shelters were not spared as bullets and shells rained down on them.

Despite international efforts to mediate a ceasefire, the conflict persists. Israel’s stated goal of wiping out Hamas and freeing Israeli hostages remains unmet, while Gaza continues to suffer. The Rafah crossing, the primary link for most of Gaza’s population with the outside world, lies in ruins, its buildings burnt, and Israeli tanks now positioned there.

As the situation remains dire, the world watches, hoping for an end to the violence and a path toward peace. But for now, the people of Rafah face another night of horror, caught in the crossfire of a seemingly unending conflict.
