Thanks I appreciate it but as far as I know all Canadian broker charge for L2. Like I said before USA citizens get real good deals everywhere be it super fast and dirt cheap shipping to cheap air travel to Free L2 and great service.

In Canada we get ripped off a lot in many things I really shouldn’t think about it too much because it’s so frustrating. I think all Canadian online brokers are all in together with charging for L2 and lives streaming. Very little population in Canada compared to USA and financial institutions use that in their favour.

I called Ameritrade a while back but they told me its only for USA citizens. I called the Canadian TD online broker and suddenly there’s all those fees coming out of nowhere just because.

I pay 42$Cad per month for 1gb data for my phone with 500 minutes Canada wide call and that’s supposed to be a great deal.

I pay between 5-10$usd per trade with Questrade (cheapest in Canada).

I pay 45$cad for 24 beers.

Sorry there I’m getting overwhelmed by thinking about how we get ripped in Canada compared to USA citizens.


Traveling by plane across Canada is extremely expensive and easily goes above 1000$cad for a 1 person round trip. Its so bad loads of people will usually drive across Canada instead of flying to avoid getting ripped off by air canada and westjet.

Canadiens internet providers, air lines, financial institutions and so in are all in together to rip Canadian off.

Think about it this way.

USA has a lot of population to help keep control over big institutions(fees, deals, discounts and so on).

The very low population in Canada make us basically insignificant in the face of big institutions that can come up with whatever high prices they can think of.

Do cherish your Ameritrade account because you can.
