In this episode of Let’s Go Together, we’re joined by Kurt Sampson, CAA’s EV guru, to cut through the headlines and misinformation around EVs - and talk honestly about what’s working, what isn’t, and what comes next.

With rebates re-introduced, new EVs entering the market, and big questions about affordability, charging and the power grid, this conversation focuses on what Atlantic Canadians need to know before making the switch.

Whether you’re EV‑curious, skeptical, or already driving electric, this episode offers practical, fact‑based insight to help you make informed decisions.

In this episode of the Let’s Go Together podcast, host Julia Kent sits down with Trudy‑Ann Ritter, Manager of Travel Insurance & Learning Development at CAA Atlantic, to unpack one of the most misunderstood parts of travel planning: travel insurance.

Many Atlantic Canadians don’t realize that even a quick trip across a provincial border - or a weekend away within Canada - can leave you vulnerable to major costs without the right coverage. Together, we break down what travel insurance actually covers, how advisory levels impact your protection, why credit card coverage may not be enough, and real‑world examples of how quickly medical bills can climb when you’re far from home.

Whether you’re planning a sunny escape, a cross‑Canada road trip, or welcoming visitors from abroad, this episode gives you the essentials to travel smarter and safer.
