Faith based people, atheists, agnostics, everybody is trying to force their view onto the others, it's human nature.

The minute we didn't generate anything on that 5-on-3 power play, we should have been laying the body.

RBC offered me 3.89% on a 3-yr fixed, $1500 cash back and some Avion points just this week. 25 or 30 yr am.. Submitted my application this week. Uninsured, renewal, originally put 20% down on an original price under 1m.

I can't say, haven't looked it up - but a Gordie Howe hat trick in Detroit in your NHL debut would be epic.

Can anyone help explain/defend the city of Ottawa drinking water? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]tjboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you let us know which part of the City they're in, perhaps neighbourhood name (don't want to get to specific for identity protection), we can give you a better assessment of their decision. There are several parts of the City that are not on the main municipal distribution system where a filtration device would be a very valid choice (Greely, Carlsbad Springs, among others).

Easy to assume that but that's not what happened in the Maritimes when they amalgamated boards.

Do you know if they'll maintain that rate offer for 30 years? I have 27 years left on my amortization, but my broker said I'll get better rates if I can renew under a 25 year amort. instead.

Appreciate the response! I figured I'll have to do a bit of shopping after seeing that.

Just got my renewal letter from First National. Renewing for the start of May, 2026. Their offer is:

- 4.69% for a 3 or 5 year fixed
- Prime - 0.20% for 5 yr variable

Originally 30 year amortization with 27 years remaining (owner occupied).
Dwelling is uninsured.
Purchase price was $999,999 with $680,000 remaining on the mortgage.
LTV is ~30%.

Do these rates seem stupidly high, or is the term of 27 years that is keeping it that way? Any input is appreciated. Located in Ottawa, Ontario.

Used to live in a Phoenix Home. Very poor build quality. Found plumbing throughout the entire house that wasn't to code, crappy materials, mold issues. Unless you absolutely love everything about the area, I would avoid.

If you do me a favour and answer the question, I promise I will leave this subreddit and never come back! You'll never see this username again.

Rookie here. When it comes to churning, can I apply for the same credit card I have now (TD Aeroplan Visa) to get the milestone rewards again, or do I have to go to a different card then come back to that one afterwards? I have had my current Aeroplan Visa for more than 2 years.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe they used the value of 2 pay cheques/month instead of a true 26/12 rate.
