He said there are no points or anything, but will my insurance go up?

Fighting it after getting a deal could result in the Crown going after you for the whole thing (It has happened before)
As to whether it will affect your rates, that relates to whether your company has surcharges for minor convictions or not (If they do it's usually 5 - 10%)

Hmmmm ... not sure how that could work unless the cop actually put it in his notes that he charged him for less than he could have (not very likely IMHO) ... in any event, you should really double check and make sure that your insurance rates won't go up as a result of this ticket (depends on when your last ticket was - IIRC they stay on your record for a minimum of 3 years) ... I know it's more money but I'd seriously consider using one of those ex-copper type companies.
