Doug, I can buy Canadian's through my US broker (AccuTrade). However, the process is awkward since they have to get their quote from a Canadian MM that takes a percentage. So my broker AND the Canadian MM make commission each way. Because of that rip-off each way, bad liquidity, large spreads, and crappy Canadian stock performance I swore off Canadian stocks. Wrote a large note to myself never to do it again, or shoot myself. I have that note on my desk with a loaded .45 auto setting on it as paperweight. I may make a slight exception for IPMC though. I understand that a US broker (Greenline?) specializes in Canadian stocks. I don't have their number.
