That's what is happening right now and 'round the clock
somewhere in Canada.
In the average year, the insurance business handles more than
$75 million in fire losses—quite aside from other claims.
It is the size of the loss figure which regulates the rates
for every different type of fire, automobile and casualty
insurance in various parts of Canada. If losses increase
Out of proportion to earnings, then insurance rates go up.
On the other hand, if losses fall off, rates decrease.
In effect, 'Canadians collectively determine their insurance
costs through their care or carelessness.
