Posted date : Nov 7, 2017.

Dear Bird Talk, I read with interest the article in Bird Talk regarding car insurance and was petrified that I probably was driving in the U.S. potentially without insurance. I immediately called the Zenith Insurance Co., my provider, quoted your article and was told immediately that it was incorrect and I was covered for six […]

Problems With Insurance Claims

Posted date : Nov 7, 2017.

Dear Bird Talk, We are 11-year snowbirds to Florida. Last winter, we changed our emergency travel insurance to [name of insurance company omitted]. By coincidence, last year we needed that insurance badly. My wife was admitted to the hospital in serious condition with severe nosebleeds. The hospital contacted our emergency insurance, which was handled by […]

Special Car Insurance Needed for Snowbirds

Posted date : Nov 7, 2017.

I have been following up with The Co-operators since the article in the winter magazine. They have been giving confusing information until finally, a policy was issued in late April.

Liability Insurance

Posted date : Nov 7, 2017.

Dear Bird Talk, We just bought a trailer/lanai in a park in Florida. We realize that home insurance is outrageous (if you can even get coverage), BUT shouldn’t we have liability coverage? Comments, please. Allen Taylor Pickering, ON Response: Ed: Liability insurance is absolutely necessary and it is not expensive. Call your Canadian insurer and […]

A Horror Story Averted!

Posted date : Nov 7, 2017.

Dear Bird Talk, Ross Quigley’s article in the summer 2010 edition of CSANews (‘Let me first say that Medipac is fine!’) hit the nail on the head. I suspect that our personal case illustrates the need very clearly. We went for a short, three-week holiday that included a one-week cruise out of Tampa last spring, […]

Are You Insured While In Florida For Six Months?

Posted date : Nov 7, 2017.

Dear Bird Talk: ARE YOU INSURED WHILE IN FLORIDA FOR SIX MONTHS? You can imagine my surprise when I walked into the local Co-Operators office to pick up my pink slip for proof of insurance, as I was leaving for Florida before my actual renewal date. When I sat down in front of the agent, […]

Joint Tenancy With Right of Survivorship

Posted date : Nov 7, 2017.

Dear Bird Talk, Re: Joint tenancy with right of survivorship My wife and I purchased a condo in Florida approximately 20 years ago. The deed indicated that both of us are “grantees” (purchasers) and also specifies that we are husband and wife. We have been told by an attorney (who is also an acquaintance) that […]

Canadian Wines and Wineries

Posted date : Nov 7, 2017.

Dear Bird Talk, As I was reading your magazine from Spring 2010, Issue 74, I came across the Food and Drink section. I was so interested in the article about nut varieties, as it suggested that you have a glass of wine with these appetizers. I was so happy to see this until I came […]

Medipac Staff

Posted date : Nov 7, 2017.

Dear Bird Talk, We are writing to express our sincere thanks for the excellent service that we received from Medipac employees. Each person with whom we spoke, to seek assistance, was efficient and knowledgeable about the Medipac insurance. We had not realized that my husband Norman was not eligible for the regular insurance and that […]
