I'd love to share more details, except you guys are a bunch of internet strangers lol. Most of my registered accounts are maxed, and I'm finally in a position where I can look at doing some bulk payments to the mortgage or invest. But I'm not exactly in a position to be putting $100k into a GIC for three years.

I think I was leaning towards mortgage because I get antsy investing sometimes and likely woulda picked some attractive ETFs instead of GICs. In my world, the ETFs tank and I'm no better off with my mortgage, and I'm way worse off with my investment dollars.

The thought of being mortgage free is really attractive though.
