When I lived in Toronto I was quoted $9000 per year for a Dodge Stealth. My driving record in Canada is less than impressive with convictions for careless driving and no insurance. Back when I was in university I got caught with no insurance, that was like 14 years ago, but they keep that on the record (or at least they had it still in the computer 5 years ago). I think getting caught with no insurance is the worse thing in Canada since it is like slapping them in the face. I never owned a car in Canada in my name after that. On another interesting note they never collected the $500 fine either. Because it is not a criminal conviction they cannot issue a warrant, and because it is not a driving conviction they cannot suspend the licence (at least not 14 years ago!). Even to this day they collection agency in Brampton sends letters to my parents house asking for the $500. I tell them that if they ever call to come down to Colombia to collect it.
