Let's be honest, the general public isn't using Firefox, isn't using x.com and has never heard of hacker News and if taught, they'd be afraid you were trying to scam them. We live in a pretty deep filter bubble.

There's a huge difference in rates and how it affects markets between Canada and the US. I'd assume most US based loans have a lock in period of 25-30 years, but is basically unheard of to have Canadian rates locked in longer than
