HISA is critical for me, no way I am locking in in this environment. EQ still doesn't cut it.

They're running a business managing their Costs (Interest Paid) relative to competitors so as to maintain their Revenue and Balance Sheet to what they need. Any business that doesn't do this well doesn't last ...
You and I do the same thing - we shop or borrow at the lowest cost and invest where we get the best return/risk balance ...

EQ Bank obviously doesn't need HISA money right now, with their HISA at 1½%. I would consider moving funds elsewhere until that changes.
Hubert is offering 2.05% on their HISA. Perhaps, one can commit some funds for 31 days and put such funds into a one-year cashable GIC at TD or CIBC for 2%.
If one can commit for three months, Hubert is paying 3.1% for the first quarter of its one-year cashable term.

If u get 2% for HISA vs locking in 1y at 3.85%, u r losing out 185 bps every day u wait. Do your break even analysis, waiting does not always win even in current environment.
It’s clear FIs right now are only interested in fixed term funding, as they need reliability to manage their funding cost in a rising rate environment.
The HISA will only be attractive to the FIs when rate market is not moving much, or a rate drop cycle.

Right now Hubert's 1Yr cashable GIC (first quarter gets you 3.10%) is a Very Good short term alternative.

If you move your 1.5% HISA to 3.85% 1-year term you'll probably be way ahead in 365 days, even should HISA rates really rise. Waiting or going elsewhere at lower rates, e.g. Hubert at 3.1% for 3 months, same thing. If you're going longer term different thing, you can wait a bit, but 1 year goes by quick, waiting/underperforming days cost you relatively more.

I put my TFSA into a 3.80% for that very reason, a 2.3% gap widens very fast initially and builds a buffer vs. waiting. I have no doubt waiting will get a higher rate from that point onward, but I've "put it to bed" and now focus on non TFSA GIC short term (only) laddering.

When the US Fed just raised 0.75% and the Canadian BOC about to do the same, and inflation still rising, I think waiting is a good decision.

I'm with Bruford ⬆ 
With the $$$ I have that isn't locked-up in GICs, etc., I expect to stay Short at least throughout most of the summer.
For some of us right now ... Cash is King ❗

Hubert's cashable 1Yr GIC (first quarter
