Alberta drivers save hundreds a year on their auto insurance: IBC report

British Columbia may have the weather and the ocean but Alberta gets a deal when it comes to car insurance.

A new report from the Insurance Bureau of Canada shows the same driver could save hundreds of dollars on the other side of the Rockies.

The jurisdictions are similar ... but the big difference in Alberta offers more competition.

Jane Philpott says there is “much more” to the SNC-Lavalin story than has been made public

Former Treasury Board president Jane Philpott's interview with Maclean's magazine is fuelling opposition demands for more information on the SNC-Lavalin controversy.

Philpott told Maclean's that there's “much more to the story” and that she has been prevented from discussing her concerns through efforts by the Prime Minister's Office to “shut down the story.”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continues to dismiss calls for him to waive cabinet confidentiality and solicitor-client privilege to allow Wilson-Raybould to speak further.

Latest security flaw at Facebook believed to impact between 200m and 600m users

Anywhere from 200 million to 600 million users of Facebook are believed to have been impacted by a security flaw at the social network.

For years, users' passwords were stored in a text document, which could have been opened by anyone who had internal access to files - that's as many as 20,000 staff.

Earlier, BC Liberals leader, Andrew Wilkinson, said it’s time to open up the market to more insurance providers in BC.

Chapter 7

Advice for the spouse who feels like they have to do everything

A recent poll found the majority of US parents are still doing mundane tasks for their adult children, like reminding them of deadlines and making their appointments.

But as many of us know: this isn’t just a problem exclusive to millennials. Lots of older people rely on their spouse to manage their schedules, make the dinner, run errands, and do menial household chores.

So we wanted to find out some advice for the spouse who feels like they have to do everything.
