We just ask for Canadian online discount brokerage firms to match their U.S. counterpart commission structures by eliminating trading fees.

@RealSalluKhan@TD_DirectInvest@TD_Canada @jessi_moorhouse TD has repeatedly ignored customers asking this question, because the answer is that TD, along with a few other firms, operate as an oligopoly in the online brokerage space in Canada. They immorally overcharge Canadians while STILL selling order flow to high-frequency firms.
@TD_DirectInvest@iLuv_2_Travel This is complete non-sense. Canadian TD Waterhouse users that use Thinkorswim should get the same rates as American users of Thinkorswim. It's the same tech, and same customer service reps, same support team, etc. TD is literally using Canadians to fund free trades in America.
TD has not responded to this tweet from Friday. They are trying to spin this as "not selling order flow on Canadian equities", but this is not what we're asking for. We want no commissions on US equities & options where they do indeed sell order flow even for Canadian customers.
@jessi_moorhouse @TD_DirectInvest Here's a question TD can answer (but seemingly doesn't want to):
Why do Americans get no commissions and free trades while Canadians are still charged $10.00+ for options and stock trades?

@TD_DirectInvest Please correct me if I'm wrong, but you do sell order flow on US equity and options orders in platforms like Thinkorswim for Canadians using Thinkorswim.

@tastytradar @BrandonFeltman @TDAmeritrade @TD_DirectInvest@TD_Canada TD Bank, if I'm not mistaken, still owns 42% of TD Ameritrade. While this isn't quite majority ownership, it's enough.
@TDAmeritrade Can you comment on Canadians using the Thinkorswim platform through TD Direct Investing? Every time I've called customer service I get transferred to the American Thinkorswim support team. Who ultimately determines the fees for Canadian Thinkorswim users?
@tastytradar @BrandonFeltman @TDAmeritrade It's truly sad that a Canadian bank offers free trades to Americans and subsidizes through extra high fees for Canadians.
@TD_DirectInvest@TD_Canada
@TD_DirectInvest The financial future self-directed investors in Canada desire and deserve includes free commissions. TD gives Americans free commissions yet charges $10.00 for trades to Canadians that are sold to high frequency firms anyway. THIS IS WRONG!

@TDAmeritrade Hello TD Ameritrade. I have been trying to contact the
TD direct investing division for Canadians using platforms like Thinkorswim. They are not responding to my requests as to why TD is still charging $9.99 per trade for customers in Canada.
Can you guys address this issue?
@16bitcap@Scottrades@CheddarFlow Interactive Brokers have the best commission structure for Canadians currently.
I'm on a mission to change that though. It's not fair that our banks slash commissions to zero for Americans, but leave Canadians behind in the dust.
@BNNBloomberg Now is the time for Canadian banks to drop Commissions on their trading platforms like the U.S. brokers have. Banks like TD continue to rip off Canadians with high fees as a subsidy for free trading on their U.S. platforms.
