I recently realized that the Canadian 1-month T-bills offer 0.9% of return. First of all, I wanted to know why the government would give me 0.9% for only a month and If I could use leverage to gain more?? Its seems to good to be true.

Has any of you bought a t-bill and were you able to use leverage ??

Isn't the convention that yields are per annum, not the life of the bond?
