The Ontario NDP is calling for a steep cut in auto insurance rates

The party says the Ford government should cut rates in half because accidents in Toronto are down by more than half

New stats by Toronto police show the number of crashes have dropped significantly since last March.

The party's auto insurance critic Tom Rakocevic says Doug Ford is letting insurance companies gouge drivers, and it’s got to stop.

And he notes "B.C. just lowered premiums for all drivers, and the Ford government can do this in Ontario, but Ford has put the interests of wealthy corporations before everyday Ontarians."
