It looks like it has come down ~10% since the time of that post, but could be because usage is low right now. It will be interesting to keep an eye on once the cities get bustling tomorrow.

Have to let his dense ass figure it out. It's the only way that he learns why tariffs, trade wars and alienating the US is the worst idea in the history of bad ideas.
He has to see the consequences first hand.
Tomorrow is a new day. Let’s see what he cooks up.
Pretty sure MAGAs consider this a win - those are blue states.

So what's the deal. Should I wait until August to renew my mortgage or rush to get it done.
I'm no expert, but 5-yr bond yield is dropping like a rock this last week. Down from 2.9% to 2.5% today, so that should translate to some lower 5-yr fixed mortgage offers.
Again, I'm a bit of a moron so take with a grain of salt.

It might make sense to at least start the process and get a rate with a rate hold. I think some can be held for a few months. You aren't committed, but at least have that to fall back on.

They think the way Trump thinks, that the less powerful should capitulate to the will of bigger powers. There are Americans who in their minds, they love Canada and think Trump's desire to annex Canada is generous and a symbol of that love. They are actually dumbfounded that Canadians do not want it and aren't showing more gratitude at the offer. They actually believe that we are suffering up here.
I've had discussions with Americans who believe that the reason why most Canadians live with a few hundred kilometers of the U.S. border is because we want to be in the U.S., with no understanding to how latitude affects climate and carrying capacity. They believe that Canadians were "left behind" when the U.S. formed and the border was established, and they somehow did us wrong by letting that happen.
I'm a Canadian working in the Midwest US and this is actually pretty accurate to explain the dissonance many Americans (Especially MAGA Americans) have through these times. They view America as essentially the world's best country on virtually all measures with a wide gap between them and everyone else. They believe that the entire world wants to be American. They don't view the 51st state language as hostile towards Canadians but rather as a message of endearment that they hold Canadians in such high regard as to potentially accept them as fellow Americans.

The fact that I know this is largely true kind of makes me feel like I need a shower.
There are very different mind-sets at play here. We take it as an insult. They think its a compliment and dont understand why we feel insulted.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.

So self centred and delusional they can't even imagine people not only don't look up to America, but view them with disdain. The fall is going to be catastrophic to their psyche. Oh well.

You could at least try and have a little empathy. Some of those people genuinely mean well. Their actions may be counter-intuitive to Canadians but its not out of malice.
All of America isn't against us. They just need a little bit of a fresh perspective but you paint everyone with the broadest of brushes.

Rates can be locked in for one to four months, typically three. You’re not committed but you’re protected if rates rise.

They are morons and live in a craphole 3rd world country.
