New Twist in US/Canada Insurance
I don't know how seriously to take this, but I figured I'd pass it on. My local paper--never the highest quality--is running an article saying that the rules have changed for US drivers in Canada. I have no idea whether this applies to other nationalities who are insured in the US. In fact, I'm not entirely sure what the article is actually saying, probably because neither is the reporter.
A couple of choice tidbits: "...insurance experts are reminding U.S. drivers that if they get into an accident while in B.C., they will no longer be able to make a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance. Full auto insurance coverage is being strongly recommended for U.S. drivers after the recent adoption of B.C.’s recent Insurance Vehicle Act....Crucially, U.S. drivers will be responsible for paying for their own injuries or damages — regardless of who is at fault. Experts says knowing the risks and being prepared before going are important.

There is a paywall, but AFAIK you can read several articles free per month.
