Tarion Warranty Corporation

While Tarion may have provided a consumer protection service in the past, it no longer does so. Rather, it acts like a B-Grade insurance company that collects premiums from home purchasers and then uses the proceeds to deny any claim by using whatever and hard-ball legal tactics it can. Tarion is the monopoly warranty service provider in Ontario and the fees are mandatory. It's kind of like a legal protection racket, except that there is no protection.
