- If you want to go with a Canadian brokerage house,
- check out Marathon Brokerage. Their rates are low for Canadian Stocks,
- and very competitive for US stocks too (generally as good as most US
- discounters). They have a 24hr toll-free US number, and you can
- get Canadian or US dollar accounts.

- They have offices in Vancouver and Victoria. Vancouver is:
-
- Commerce Place, 400 Burrard Street, Suite 2001,
- Vancouver BC, V6C 3A6.
-
- Another one to look into is Toronto Dominion Green Line. I've never
- used them, but they have great rates too. They just added access to
- a lot of foreign markets.
