I think that the BoC has a very difficult issue coming down the pipe. Manufacturing will pick up with cheap oil and a lower CAD. This should spur inflation...but of course in Alberta raising rates is the last thing we need. Extremely difficult decision IMO.

Borrowing money recklessly just to win an election seems to be the message i'm getting from Trudeau. Investing in infrastucture has to be done in a responable manner that doesn't incur heavy debt loads for future generations.
How many people factor in possible rate increases when considering how much they can afford to borrow? That's my problem with Harper and his housing comment. Imagine if interest rates jumped 2-3%.....
