About that episode: This episode examines the “mortgage prison” trap ensnaring Canadian homeowners who locked in at historically low pandemic-era rates — as low as 1.5% — for five-year terms. As those terms now come up for renewal at roughly double the rate, many face monthly payment increases of hundreds of dollars they simply cannot absorb amid broader cost-of-living pressures. Compounding the squeeze, falling home values — particularly acute in the Toronto area — mean these homeowners cannot refinance to extend their amortisation and lower their payments, leaving them with no parachute and no spare tyre.
