tdbank.ca - Green Line, discount broker, I use them
ctsecurities.com - Canada Trust, I don't know how they work, but their quote server is useful, it gives you the last five buyers and sellers
canada.etrade.com - E*Trade Canada - I know a guy who loves in Arizona roughly half the time, is happy with etrade there, but tried etrade Canada and didn't like it, went to Green Line.
midwal.ca - Midland Walwyn - full-service (read full-price) but if you keep an account with them they will give you online access to their research, which, depending on the analyst, may or may not be useful. You could call them Canada's Merrill Lynch.
207.183.153.73 - irby knows everything
207.183.153.73 - lots here too
Any Canadian broker can trade in the States, most of us have US shares, just like you guys have Canadian. Most have reciprocal deals with US houses, I believe. Midland's deal is with Dean Witter, and Green Line's with Waterhouse, of course. They all charge a little more than for domestic trades, and give varying exchange spreads - both Midland and Green Line give narrow spreads in my experience.
