I'd like to give my thoughts on unsustainable interest rates in Canada. Living here, I see it as yes, a raise in interest would be catastrophic for many home owners and their mortgage payments. But we are tied to USA's Fed. If they increase the rate, and we do not, our dollar will plummet in USD CAD terms. So in my eyes, it is a trade of between devaluing the CAD, thus every Canadian absorbing the blow, or home owners taking the interest rate hit. I am not sure which is the best outcome :) edit to clarify why CAD will drop, is because CAD will be given up at the lower rate for USD which offers higher rate.
