Azalea officially turns two today, but I'm pretty sure she entered her "terrible twos" early. I've heard a lot about the "terrible twos" and what to expect from her, but I gotta say that attempting to cross the floor — twice — was not on my bingo card. 😅

#ICYMI - we’re keeping basic auto insurance rates basic rates stable through to spring 2027. That means seven consecutive years without an increase!
On average, BC drivers are paying about $700 less than what people pay for auto insurance in Ontario, and about $440 less than what Albertans pay.
