Thanks, Britcon.
I just spoke with Hagerty head office in Michigan and the bottom line is this:
1. If I had a permanent residence in BC, they could cover me.
2. If I had the vehicle already here and registered in Ontario, they could cover me.
3. But they CANNOT cover a vehicle registered in BC and owned by a guy with a permanent address in Ontario. (They do not have such restrictions between US States. It only happens between provinces, said Hagerty rep, because BC law says that insurance in that province can only be sold to BC residents.......)
What a schmozzle.......
