Spring Is In The Air! In some markets in Canada it may feel like + i( v7 A* b+ f" ?7 a5 { O% e
Spring is starting to arrive. Each and every year in late February and : F: P+ U8 @9 Z r6 X' Y) H* p- _
early March, the banks start rolling out their Spring market campaign of D- H' s, Q# u
new products in an effort to attract new consumers. And, if early signs 9 S; h" t [# A( n0 o) G2 M& l: [+ p8 m
are any indication, we're poised for yet another busy spring. The banks - q; _# T2 w8 @# A5 s% j

Over the next few weeks we'll see a variety of new products and this " v9 m8 W- ^# d- i% f

In an effort to take the focus away from rates, look for two lenders to & z9 D# S' Z$ J- Z4 c& g& p

And speaking about investors, banks are starting to recognize the * }2 A1 |& l9 O$ Q3 p w8 Y. ^# D
