The presence of a single legal marijuana plant could lead your home insurer to deny your claim GlobeInvestor

What was surprising about the case was the evidence of Wawanesa’s underwriting expert that a single cannabis plant would constitute a material change in the insurer’s eyes, and thus give the insurer grounds to void a standard home policy. If this is indeed the case, any homeowner exercising her new-found rights under the Cannabis Act may be left without coverage – even for losses entirely unrelated to cannabis.

It remains to be seen whether a court would permit an insurer to void a policy on such grounds, and whether an insurer would risk the adverse publicity that would likely come with such a decision. In the interim, prudent homeowners should consider erring on the side of caution and informing their home insurers of the presence of any marijuana plants.

Diane Francis: China is a trade bully. Trudeau needs to stop dithering and fight backOpinion: No nation-state, or individuals, should be held to ransom by anyone Haha... joke of the week! Canada 1st world ecconomy to fight back China.. hahaha... better be happy if Dollar store crap is still avaialble for “rich” Canadians. We all know our PM is a weak ass if he wasn’t he would have told China to kiss Canada’s ass long ago. We can get the cheap crap we get from them from many other countries and they will break just as fast. People make I'll comments if its China. But being bullied by our neighbors to the south seems fine. Have we forgotten the aluminium and steel taxes? Or the money owed for Canadian lumber? China can be a bully, only if we allow it. Canada can be bullied only if Canada allows it.
