Comparison of Canadian Stock Markets
Similar to stock markets in the United States, Canadian stock markets vary significantly in terms of their financial, liquidity and corporate governance requirements. Most Canadian publicly traded cannabis-related companies trade on the CSE due to its less stringent requirements, as compared to the TSX and TSXV. More than 10% of the companies traded on the CSE are cannabis-related companies. The following chart provides a comparison of the TSX, TSXV and CSE.
