Even in 2003 with gay marriages imminent in Canada, mortgage companies
are irrepressibly heterosexist. After I refinanced,
my new mortgage company is not able to put both my name and my partner's
name on the mortgage statements. Apparently they've never heard of two
non-married people sharing a mortgage. And one of the post-mortgage
junk mails we got for life insurance came addressed to
"Nelson and Ken Minar". Um, not quite.
