Is a high-interest savings account safe?

Savings at CDIC member banks are protected up to $100,000 per eligible deposit category at each institution. Credit union deposits are covered by provincial insurers.

Promo rate or ongoing rate: which matters?

Promotional rates usually apply only to new deposits for a few months. For money you keep long term, the ongoing rate matters more.
