>>".. paying the capital gains tax on the margin account while not getting the benefit of the loss in the RRSP account"

In a margin account, (say) 50% of losses are written off, and you have paid tax on the other 50%. In an RRSP 100% of losses are written off, because no tax has been paid.

If you are going to have losses, it is better to have them before taxes are paid. IMHO.
