Government Bonds/Securities
I'm just wondering where I can go to buy 2 or 5 year government bonds or securities, and what the latest rates are. Really, I don't know how any of this works, and I looked on the Bank of Canada website and I just got more confused. Any help would be great, Thanks!

You can buy them at your bank.

Rates
Institutionally: 2yr Canadas 1.81 and 5yr Canadas 3.04. Rates offered at the retail level WILL be lower. Provincial bonds will get you a little more, say .30 more for 2years and about .40 more for 5 years, depending on the province.

^ Just curious, is the interest distributed bi-annually or quarterly?

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

Interest on regular domestic bonds pay semi-annually, ie you get half the coupon every 6 months. Rates have moved up significantly today (say +.18% in 2s and +.15% in 5s) as the Bank of Canada has officially opened the door to a bump up in rates as early as June now.
