What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore? (lemm.ee)

Well that's lame... You guys should do something about that, as a US home owner, having a fixed rate mortgage is one of the best parts about owning vs renting.

As a US non-homeowner, I'm not sure what you think I should do about it.

In Canada (as well as UK) it is more common for the rate to only be locked in for 5 years.

I think it's pretty clear I was talking about the folks you're referring to... not you specifically if you're not in that group... but fair enough.
