"....Toronto. Mining town. 4.5 million people. Don't laugh. It is the leading mine financing center in the world. Bar none." "Gold Diggers of 1929", by Doug Fetherling, 1979: "It was customary in the 1920s for Toronto brokers to spend two or three days a week in Montreal, buying batches of securities to peddle back home. But in mining Toronto was the focal point for the whole of North American. It was also the centre of stock fraud, for the two seemed to go together....." Not quite the world in 1929, but getting there. Some where in the book author says that it was Northern Ontario gold, silver and metals that made Toronto boom particularly during the 20s.
