(sorry mods, remove if not allowed, not directly GME related)

Hello, I have a meeting with an MPP and a separate meeting with a legislative assistant this week regarding the Canadian financial system and the issues/flaws with it. I’ve listed some bullet points on what I’ll be discussing. I’m looking for more information/sources/issues that anyone would like to share with me that I can then report in these meetings. Thanks everyone!

Banks

• investment banking vs commercial banking - hard split/regulation to better protect the system
• anti-competitive practices
• over-leveraged banks (50 times the balance sheets)
• massive derivatives trading
• shady balance sheet reporting
• margin requirements
• lack of transparency / length delays in reporting

Stock Market / exchanges

• contract for difference for share purchasing by brokers and banks
• 2-day settlement periods
• high frequency trading
• latency lag for algorithmic trading - anti-retail
• retail protection

• dark pools
• insider trading
• anti-competitive practices
• lack of transparency / length delays in reporting
