This was 97 years after Canada first became a nation. The red bands on each side of the flag represent our ocean boundaries, and the red maple leaf in the middle could stand for our abundant natural resources between the seas. The flag is red on white as opposed to blue on white because the old symbol, the British flag, was blue. The flag was subsequently…

House Painting Tips


Preparing the area:

Fill holes by using a filler or spackle. Make sure to dry completely, then sand.

Scrape off old paint or sand walls so the area is smooth.

Clean walls

Priming the walls: Priming isn’t absolutely necessary, but it will help the paint adhere properly, and hide any dark colours or stains.

Stir paint: Paint colour will separate. Make sure to stir thoroughly, especially if the paint has been sitting for an extended period of time.

Gather your painting tools: putty knife, filler, sandpaper, rags, paint can opener, paint tray, stir sticks, angled paint brush, roller, roller cover, roller extension pole, drop cloth, and painter’s tape.

Tape the appropriate areas so you won’t get paint on the parts…

Why the Change to 25 Year Amortizations?


Back in 2012, CMHC made some changes to Canada’s mortgage rules by only allowing 25 year mortgages to home owners who require home loan insurance through CMHC. The hot housing market and the imminent housing crash spurred the change by wanting to safe guard Canadians from taking on more debt than what they could afford. CMHC felt that a 30 year amortization would create a burden of debt for the consumer.

The advantage of the 30 year mortgage was the ability to have lower monthly payments due to stretching the debt over a longer period of time. Home buyers who required CMHC loan insurance were able to qualify for a home with a 30 year amortization because the monthly payment was feasible.

However, the 30…
