If Interest rates rise by 1/4 point many people in Canada will not be able to make their monthly Mortgage payments ... let alone afford to buy food.

1/4% isn't felt and as most mortgages are fixed interest rates. On a $10,000 credit card balance 1/4% is only $25 a year. This just isn't enough to matter as people can cut out something. Where even that small amount matters is that people will cut things out, say 1 less movie a year or eating at home an extra time. Multiple this over the entire economy and it means jobs are lost.

A majority of mortgages are fixed rate so most will not feel any increase if rates increase.

>TransUnion found that as of the end of June, the average Canadian mortgage had $198,781 left on it, a figure that has increased by almost five per cent in the previous 12 months

Source: http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/transunion-mortgages-debt-1.4256026

While there are pockets of Canada that have insane real estate prices the average person doesn't have a 800k mortgage. Anyone with an ARM that can't afford an extra 1/4% mortgage increase never should of bought a home on an ARM while rates were at historic lows. Seriously anyone that takes an ARM right now just isn't very intelligent. Buy a home you can afford or just don't purchase a home. 

At that if someone has an ARM right now and isn't refinancing into a fixed rate mortgage is just asking for drastically higher payments in the future.

Interest rates will rise, period. There is zero chance of them not rising IMO.
