Bon appetite and a Happy Thanksgiving holiday.

Variable rates are great when interest rates are low and/or dropping. I was able to pay off the 25 year amortized mortgage on my current house in 11 years thanks in part to holding a fixed payment variable rate mortgage. The bulk of my monthly payments went against the principal because interest rates were steadily falling during the years I was making payments.

Just for the record mortgages on principal residences in Canada are not tax deductable. Nor are municipal property taxes for that matter.

The fall of Hong Kong to the Japanese in 1941 is, along with the Dieppe raid in 1943, painfully etched into the Canadian national consciousness.

Since my surgery, I carry one of those gravy boats under the seat of my truck.

You say that as if it’s a bad thing. Not sure any more but I’ll take neo-conservatism over today’s pseudo-conservative populism any time.

@Jolly

Frum has become an absolute idiot and I wouldn't put a lot of credence in his prognostications.

I don’t believe that to be the case at all. You simply don’t agree with his brand of non-populist conservatism.
