There are others who will open accounts for canadians. You might want to check this site for some excellent information and links. Well worth the time.

Problem Keith:

"Securities held in your account are protected up to $100 million dollars. Our clearing firm is U.S. Clearing, a Division of Fleet
Securities, Inc., a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which protects customer securities of its members
up to $500,000 (including $100,000 for cash claims). The additional $99,500,000 protection is provided by Asset Guaranty Insurance

Only coverage for $100M! ;)

Keith, problem is currency. I have sent rjforbes an email but I have yet to find one US Internet broker who will allow a Canadian Dollar account. US $35 isn't such a great deal when it costs you 5% to convert currency on every trade.
