Yeah, it is high! Luckily it comes down at the end of this month as I am no longer considered a high risk driver (under 25 years of age). To be fair I did have a huge claim with my insurance company this year, ($21,000.00 in damage). At the time my deductible was $1000.00 but they raised it after they had to pay out so much for the accident.

When I was in Saskatchewan I remember actually being able to afford insurance. Here in AB the rates are much higher (but then again: so is my hourly wage).
