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.

US President Donald Trump speaks as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu waves following a meeting in the White House, in Washington, US, April 7, 2025.


U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are set to meet at the White House today for critical talks on the nearly two-year war in Gaza. The meeting comes as international pressure mounts on Israel to agree to a ceasefire and as Washington pushes a new 21-point peace plan aimed at ending the conflict.

Trump has promised “something special” and insists a breakthrough is within reach, citing support from Arab and Muslim states for the U.S.-backed proposal. The plan reportedly calls for a permanent ceasefire, the release of hostages, and a framework for Gaza’s post-war governance.

Netanyahu, however, has signaled caution. While praising Trump as Israel’s closest ally, he has expressed reservations about elements of the plan, particularly regarding the role of Palestinian authorities in Gaza and the prospect of a future Palestinian state.

On the ground, Israeli forces continue their offensive in Gaza City, intensifying a humanitarian crisis that has drawn condemnation from Western allies, several of whom recently recognized Palestinian statehood in defiance of Israeli objections.

The White House meeting marks Netanyahu’s fourth visit since Trump returned to office, underscoring both the urgency of the conflict and the strain on Israel’s international standing. Whether today’s talks yield a concrete path to peace—or deepen existing divides—remains uncertain.
