Default Search engines for insurance in Canada

Is anyone aware of any Canadian search engines / crawlers such as:

Confused
Moneysupermarket
Gocompare

sites as there is in the UK for searching for insurance.

Cant seem to find any.

Could it be insurers stick to certain regions of Canada so it's not possible to put something like that together.

Thanks in advacnce.

You will have to call an insurance company or broker for a quote.

No, Canada is just lightyears behind on stuff like that.
Most people from the UK seem to have success with Johnsons Insurance so I'd give them a try.

That wasnt really what he was asking for- I'm sure the OP is quite familiar with google and yahoo.

I have Johnson's ready and primed for when I finally buy a car. The quotes they give me for a new Outlander, Santa Fe, Outback with wife a named driver are all between £1420-$1550.

I did supply them all the info from the UK first via scanning, then a void cheque from here so all they need now is a vehicle VIN and we are in business.

They have been the best I have come across for a newby
