| Friday, January 16, 2009 Mortgage Rates This Weekby Lyn Hart on Fri, Jan, 16, 2009 01:36 AM Welcome to a new year of possibilities!

The Bank of Canada meets on January 20th and should lower rates by .25%-.50%.
The Canadian Government is hammering on the banks to quit hoarding money by increasing their spreads they charge and so we should see more long term rate decreases as well.
