Fixed mortgage rates in Canada are climbing again, putting pressure on borrowers and homebuyers across the country. After briefly dipping below 4% earlier this year, five-year fixed rates at major banks have now risen back above that threshold. This shift is largely driven by rising bond yields, which lenders use to set fixed mortgage rates. As of late May, the Government of Canada’s five-year bond yield has increased to around 2.85%, up from approximately 2.5% in April.

Using extension cords outside can be very helpful, especially when you're working on your yard, decorating for the holidays, or running power tools. But outdoor electrical safety is something every homeowner should take seriously. If you use the wrong cord or don't follow safety guidelines, you could end up causing a fire, damaging your equipment, or even getting hurt. That’s why knowing how to safely use an extension cord outdoors is just as important as choosing the right one.

As summer approaches, water usage often increases around the home. From watering gardens to keeping the lawn green, maintaining a comfortable environment during the warmer months can lead to higher water bills. In Canada, where summer droughts are becoming more common, it’s essential to find smarter ways to conserve water and reduce consumption. One of the most effective solutions is harnessing alternative sources of water, such as rainwater and greywater. Understanding how these sources can be used at home will not only help save water but also benefit the environment and lower your utility costs.

Canada's reputation for sidestepping the 2008 financial crisis has been challenged by recent analyses. According to Better Dwelling, the belief that Canada escaped the crisis unscathed is misleading. Instead of a swift economic downturn, the country experienced a prolonged period of financial strain, with households absorbing the impact through increased debt and stagnant productivity.

Canada is on track for a deep recession, even though recent tariff reductions might suggest otherwise. Oxford Economics warns that global trade tensions—especially U.S. tariffs on other countries—are hurting demand and investment, which will likely hit Canada hard. The firm expects Canada's economy to shrink by 0.2% in 2026, following weak growth of just 0.7% in 2025.

Summer storms can bring unexpected weather events, including heavy rainfall, which often leads to basement backups in older homes. These storms can overwhelm the drainage systems and cause flooding, resulting in damage to your home’s foundation, electrical systems, and belongings. For homeowners with older properties, the risk of basement flooding is especially high due to aging infrastructure that may not be equipped to handle modern water flow.

Water damage is one of the most expensive problems a homeowner can face. Flooding in basements and crawl spaces can ruin furniture, destroy appliances, and create longterm issues like mould and mildew. Recently, TikTok and other social media platforms have been buzzing with homeowners showing off their sump pumps and warning others that they must install one before the next big storm. This has led to many people wondering: is a sump pump truly necessary, or is it just another seasonal online trend?

The Canadian dollar, known as the loonie, has bounced back from its earlier losses against the U.S. dollar, regaining value lost since the U.S. tariff threats in late 2024. According to BMO Capital Markets, the loonie strengthened to its best level since November 25, 2024, briefly trading below $1.40 USD, or above 71.5 U.S. cents. This recovery follows a period of decline that began in 2021 and accelerated with the U.S. administration's tariff threats.
