My favourite feminist, Andrew Spence , sits on the Board of the Toronto Foundation and chairs its Investment Committee. Sharon Avery, its President & CEO, just sent me flowers thanking me for Andrew’s time in this regard. Recognizing that we are in a house with five kids, three cats and a dog with significant work responsibilities on both Andrew and I, she is lovely to acknowledge this!

The Toronto Foundation exists to improve quality of life for people here — highlighting needs, engaging donors and making grants. Their Toronto Fallout Report documents the disproportionate impacts of COVID-19 in our city on marginalized populations and the organizations that serve them. Worth the read as we all ponder our priorities in 2021:

Our MPs need to hear from their constituents that this kind of policy development is important so that future catastrophic events don’t economically crush us all or large swathes of our nation. Furthermore, one of the factors that affects insurance pricing is uncertainty. This is a degree of certainty our government can bring to bear. There are others, such as immunity legislation when it comes to liability for COVID-19 transmission or other broad risks we need to measure and take as individuals without recourse.

Cross reference the other article in today’s Globe wherein our Ontario Minister of Finance urges insurers to not engage in discriminatory pricing based on, I guess, industry. Urging won’t do anything especially when it’s not really the local players engaging in the practice. Canadian insurers are unregulated when it comes to business insurance pricing. I wouldn’t advocate pricing regulation (cross ref Ontario car insurance) but I would advocate using government policy tools to create more certainty for insurers and for industries that need some form of risk transfer support.

The global insurance market tightening so significantly in concert with a global pandemic shines the light on this opportunity. Send Alister Campbell ‘s article to your MP.
