Anybody have experience using BMO mortgage cash account? This is where you can pre-pay down the principle and then supposedly withdraw those funds when needed. I’ve been frustrated by the terms and conditions on my daily HISA so thinking this could be a way to get the equivalent of 5.15% (my current mortgage rate) for money that I don’t need to touch frequently. Seems like I can’t do better than this even in a HISA ETF.

My concerns are: am I thinking about this the right way? (Paying down principle on mortgage is equivalent to earning that percentage in a regular bank account?). Does this BMO mortgage feature really work like this? It wasn’t advertised to me, I had to dig into it.

Could it be that nobody wants to buy a VW EV? You know, the ones that leave you guessing where the temperature control is at night because their display has no back light?

Why instead of gitea though? I thought the “for profit” stuff was only to provide the original developers of gitea the ability to provide paid support to commercial clients.

I wonder who should take the blame for being greedy though. The Canadian Bill C-19 was heavily influenced by lobbying from the Canadian news lobby group who even suggested the link charge.

Canadian news outlets suggest the link fee and then complain about the consequences.

“In fact, not content with obtaining payments for reproduction of news content, it lobbied for a far broader approach that even includes payment for links or merely “facilitating access” to news content.”

Probably why my 4nm AMD based laptop hasn’t shipped yet…still recovering from when Apple bought up the 4nm process.
