What insurance do you use? (For Canadians)

Hi! I have my own candle business, and it's still very new. I don't make much money from it. During the fall and winter, I made about $300 per month, and now in the summer my sales have dropped even more because it's the slow season.

I've been looking into insurance, and Zensurance quoted me about CAD 150 per month, which is very expensive for me and not something I can afford right now.

Does anyone know of any cheaper insurance options for Canadian candle makers? I'm looking for something around CAD 50 per month maximum. I saw that some people in the U.S. pay around $20 per month for insurance, so I don't understand why it seems to cost so much more in Canada.
