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.

North Korea has declared it will never abandon its nuclear weapons program, calling the demand for denuclearization an attack on its sovereignty and right to exist. Speaking before the United Nations General Assembly, Vice Foreign Minister Kim Son Gyong said that nuclear weapons are enshrined in the country’s constitution and are essential to maintaining a “balance of power” on the Korean Peninsula.

Kim argued that U.S.-led military exercises with South Korea and Japan represent a growing threat of aggression, insisting that Pyongyang’s nuclear arsenal is the only effective deterrent. “We will never walk away from this position,” he stated, rejecting international calls for disarmament.

The remarks mark the first time since 2018 that a senior North Korean official has addressed the UN gathering in person. While the speech was less combative than some of Pyongyang’s past rhetoric, it underscored the regime’s unwavering stance: nuclear weapons are non-negotiable.

North Korea has been under UN sanctions since 2006 for its nuclear and ballistic missile programs, but enforcement has weakened as Russia and China push for easing restrictions. Analysts say the speech signals Pyongyang’s intent to strengthen ties with these allies while resisting U.S. pressure.
