60% of Canadians Face Rising Mortgage Payments by 2026

Canadians with a mortgage renewal in the near future are facing trouble ahead. The Bank of Canada released a new report detailing that around 60% of outstanding mortgages are set to renew in 2025 or 2026, and those homeowners are highly likely to see a rise in monthly payments.

Most borrowers went into a five-year, fixed-rate mortgage when rates were significantly lower. The average monthly mortgage payment for those renewing in 2025 is expected to rise by 10% compared to December 2024. Those set to renew in 2026 should anticipate a 6% monthly increase in comparison to the same time period. However, this is all dependent upon the type of product purchased. The central bank noted that those who selected a variable rate payment may actually see a decline of between 5% to 7%. Those with a five-year, fixed-rate payment could see an increase of up to 15% to 20%. Of the 60% of mortgage holders facing renewals, around 75% of those facing increases hold a five-year, fixed-rate mortgage.

Five-year, fixed-rate mortgages account for 40% of all outstanding mortgages in the nation. The central bank’s report notes that 20% of these holders with mortgages renewing in 2026 will experience an increase.

The variable rate surpassed its peak years ago, but the renewal rates vary drastically. At the top, 10% of those renewing in 2026 could experience an increase of over 40%, while at the bottom, around 25% may see a decrease of at least 7%. Principal payments made since origination is one of the primary factors. Those who chose or had the ability to increase monthly payments to cover principal and interest are less likely to experience a dramatic price increase at renewal compared to those in negative amortization. These loans face rising interest that is added to the principal when the monthly payment is unable to meet the initial interest.

Around 80% of those with variable loans who renewed prior to March 2022 have repaid beyond their contract, leading to only 5% of that group holding a higher principal balance in February 2025 compared to the previous renewal or origination.

The central bank has deemed that this will not cause severe stress to the Canadian economy. Yet, the central bank is counting on borrowers having a higher income at renewal.

“Overall, we do not expect upcoming mortgage renewals to lead to a severe worsening of financial stress for affected borrowers, holding everything else constant. Indeed, most borrowers will likely have higher income at renewal and should face interest rates below what they were stress-tested for. That said, some borrowers with higher payments at renewal will face challenges. Many of them will need to change their spending to manage higher mortgage payments. And some may struggle to meet their other financial obligations.”

This is an optimistic analysis that relies on the economy strengthening at a time when the indicators are not there. Households cannot necessarily absorb these rate hikes, as we are looking at around 60% of renewals experiencing an uptick in monthly payments. The models show rising tension across Canadian banks and mortgage-backed assets into Q1 2026. This is not about a bubble bursting. It’s about a slow, structural compression.

UK to Permit 16-Year-Olds to Voteoriginally onUK to Permit 16-Year-Olds to Vote

Vote.UK_.Election

Teens in the United Kingdom were recently deemed too irresponsible to use social media and user-generated online content. Yet, the government has deemed it appropriate to now permit teens to begin voting in elections at the age of 16.

The Labour Party has been pushing legislation to permit 16-year-olds to vote. Coupled with digital IDs, teens will be permitted to apply for proper credentials as the UK moves toward an “increasingly automated voter registration system.”

“For too long public trust in our democracy has been damaged and faith in our institutions has been allowed to decline,” Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said. “We are taking action to break down barriers to participation that will ensure more people have the opportunity to engage in UK democracy, supporting our plan for change, and delivering on our manifesto commitment to give 16-year-olds the right to vote.”

Young voters are the least likely demographic to cast a vote. In the UK’s 2024 general election, voter turnout for the 18-24 year-old demographic was only 47%. Yet, the youth tend to favor the Labour Party, leading many to believe this measure is an attempt to buy votes. As Winston Churchill famously said, “If you’re not a liberal when you’re young, you have no heart; if you’re not a conservative when you’re old, you have no brain.”

The government forces this demographic to pay taxes on earnings over £12,570. They must pay into the National Insurance fund from age 16 if they earn above the limit, with the government currently taking £242 per week. Teens as young as 15 years and 7 months may join the Army, and those 16 years of age of older may begin basic training with parental consent. However, they cannot serve in active armed operations until they turn 18.

Are 16 and 17-year-olds responsible enough to vote? If the government deems they responsible enough to begin training to fight and pay taxes, then perhaps the youth should be permitted to select who will lead them into war and dip into their pockets. Better yet, stop sending kids off to die in foreign wars and dissuading the youth from seeking out entry-level roles with taxation. If they’re responsible enough to select the leader of their nation, they should be able to access the internet freely and be exposed to a wide range of voices and opinions, rather than what the government labels as information or misinformation.

Mexican Illegal Alien Arrested for Claiming False Kidnapping by ICE Agents

This story is representative of just how desperate the political left and media have become over the issue of deporting illegal aliens.

41-year-old Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderon, of South Los Angeles, who is an illegal alien, participated in a scheme to falsify a rather elaborate story claiming to have been kidnapped by ICE agents.  The woman and a group of co-conspirators, including her lawyer, fabricated a story and held press conferences claiming she was abducted by ICE agents.  The entire story was false, and she was arrested for fabricating the scheme [DOJ Announcement Here]

DOJ – LOS ANGELES – An illegal alien from Mexico has been charged in a federal criminal complaint with orchestrating a phony kidnapping – which she blamed on federal agents or people working with federal agents – to generate public sympathy and solicit donations, the Justice Department announced today.

[…] According to an affidavit filed with the complaint filed Wednesday, an attorney representing Calderon’s family held a press conference on June 30 to announce that Calderon had reportedly been kidnapped five days earlier at a Jack in the Box restaurant parking lot in downtown Los Angeles and brought to San Ysidro, where “she was presented to [a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] staffer” and “presented with voluntary self-deportation paperwork.” The attorney then said Calderon refused to sign the paperwork and demanded to speak to a judge and a lawyer. In response, “she was punished” and was sent to a warehouse in an undisclosed location.

The press conference garnered media attention and stoked fear in the community. Meanwhile, Calderon’s daughter set up a GoFundMe page, requesting $4,500 and stating that Calderon “was taken by masked men in an unmarked vehicle…when she was on her way to work.” According to the complaint, this entire story was fabricated.

EU Proposed €2 Trillion Defense and Climate Budget – Another Crack in the Bloc


Posted originally on Jul 17, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

EU Break up

The European Union has just proposed a staggering €2 trillion budget over seven years, with a major focus on military defense spending. Once again, Brussels is proving that when governments face internal collapse, they do not turn toward reform. Rather, they turn toward militarism.

The war cycle is intensifying. The proposal would allocate 2 trillion euros ($2.31 trillion USD) over the next seven years into 2028—a pivotal year on the war cycle. Of that figure, 131 billion euros will go toward militarization. This budget is five times the current amount the EU is spending on defense.

This is a budget for the realities of today, as well as the challenges of tomorrow,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said during a press conference. Around 35% of the budget will go toward climate and biodiversity projects, she said.

The “challenges” von der Leyen is referencing are the looming sovereign debt crisis. They are not actually concerned about Russia invading Europe. Militarization is a political too,l and climate initiatives are the most lucrative tax grab. Brussels sees that it is failing amid a rising wave of nationalism. The net-zero climate change agenda has failed, along with the attempted globalization from the World Economic Forum. The people have lost confidence in their government, and as history goes, leaders will arm up before they step aside.

Von_der_Leyen_new_NATO_head

Socrates has been forecasting this exact shift. The war cycle is peaking into 2027–2028, with the effects being truly felt in 2028. Europe should be more concerned about internal conflict among EU member states than foreign enemies. Brussels forced members to abandon domestic objectives. They’re feeling it now with the energy crisis, migrant crisis, and looming military conscription. Taxes must rise to pay for these failing policies, and member nations must continually contribute more to both the EU and NATO. Confident leaders are beginning to realize that they’ve lost control of the reins on this runaway horse, but those are the leaders who are being silenced and demonized. Civil unrest, separatist movements, and loss of confidence in government will erupt across the continent.

March 2028 marks the beginning of a major shift in the Economic Confidence Model that may signal the start of the sovereign debt crisis in Europe. From 2028 to 2032, confidence in Western governments will completely collapse. The European Union will fragment once the debt crisis hits and it becomes clear that the unity was an illusion.

The EU Guarantees Its Own Destruction


Posted  originally on Jul 10, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

Leyen Ursula von der 1

Ursula von der Leyen may be the absolute worst head of state in modern history. She has single-handedly ensured the collapse of the European Union according to our computer. She destroyed the EU economy with her NET-ZERO policies, destroying farmers and sending food prices rising. She then imposed dictatorial policies demanding migrants be taken in despite the drastic changes in culture, and then has put out the BS that to protect free speech, they must censor disinformation, to ensure peace in Euirope they need to go to war with Russia, and while she advocates total sensorship far worse than whatever existed in the USSR or even Communist China, yet refuses to release her own text messages with Pfizer.

EU Break up

While Ursula, who has never stood for election, pretends to be an elected democratic leader, calling Putin a dictator who at least stood for election, survived the NO CONFIDENCE vote to the detriment of Europe. The mere fact that this came to a vote demonstrates what our computer has been forecasting. The EU will fragment because of the dictatorial policies of Ursula. She is the perfect leader installed at the precise time that our computer warns that the EU will never survive. Her policies have been dictatorial and she has had no respect or regard for the culture of Europe. She is seeking to do what Joseph Stalin did in forces unified drone-like culture upon all the republics in Russia.

ECM Euro Waves 1 2

The ECM warns that the European Commission will reach the 72-year mark of political change in 2030. Last year, on February 19, she announced her bid to secure another five-year term, which would keep her in office until 2029. Von der Leyen has unfinished business: the transition to EU “climate neutrality,” for example, and shepherding Ukraine’s hoped-for accession to the 27-member bloc. Her policies are so contrary to economic neutrality that they have sealed the fate of the EU, and anyone who voted for her should be dragged out of office, for they do not care about Europe – only their political affiliation.

IBEUUS Y FOR 3 29 2017

Von der Leyen sees herself as untouchable. The corruption with the EU is just massive. She will put Europe into a war footing for 2026 and it is UNLIKELY that the EU will even survived intact beyond 2030. This is the array from 2017 which targeted a Panic Cycle from 2021 which marked her disastrous COVID policies that she refuses to turn over her text messages. If you are being investigated for “disinformation” and refuse to turn over subpoenaed evidence, you go to prison. Ursula is above the law and all the corrupt politicians that support her are sealing the fate of Europe into the years ahead.
