Hi,
Could somebody point me out in direction regarding Canadian Bonds. Search on this site is not really working so...
Particularly bonds as part of RRSP. How that works, interest, benefits, etc.
I am stock and mutual fund guy but wife got hold of some books and started to overthink our RRSP plan.
Thank you.

There was an earlier thread The basics of buying bonds: A timely refresher.
My earlier post was that bonds are really for institutional investors who can't easily get deposit insurance to fully cover their funds and can't access the special offers that are available to retail depositors.
