Catastrophe is probably too mild a term for what would happen to the Canadian economy with a 5℅ interest rate spike.

Canadians are slaves to their debt levels and if they stop buying things because their credit has dried up we are all in serious trouble.
We are? I thought we were an importing nation, most of the goods consumers buy are imports. Yes services would be affected as well but I suspect not as much.
