This government is beginning to greatly displease me.

The problem isn't lower rates, the problem is lending money to people who don't qualify for a loan.

He has zero business meddling in this. Bad call.

I don't like this, as much as I didn't like Government incentives for home ownership.

I don't much care for governments that negatively impact my bottom line (one of the big reasons why I loathed McGuinty, he hit my bottom line in multiple strikes). My mortgage is up for renewal shortly.

Why was a lawyer ever put in charge of finance in the first place, especially a Harris retread that proved he didn't know his ass from a hole in the ground when he had the provincial portfolio? You get what you pay for.

Well, he is right from the point of view of the dangers if interest rates start heading up again.
Remember the 80's ?
I'm guessing a lot of Canadians don't.
But he should tighten the rules for mortgages, not asking banks to change the rates.
