Verizon Entering Canada Benefits Overestimated Introduction As an employee at TELUS, I was invited to join our company’s campaign to petition the federal government for fair competition in the Canadian wireless industry in July 2013. As reported extensively in the media, there was speculation about Verizon’s intention to buy Canadian upstart Wind Mobile with an initial bid of $700 million, and to be also in talks about buying fellow upstart Mobilicity. Verizon's bid comes after the federal government made changes in 2012 to the telecommunications rules that allowed foreign entities to enter the Canadian sector, albeit with certain limitations. Despite that, Canada's big three telecoms — Rogers, Bell and my employer, Telus — have cried foul to the notion of the American giant entering Canada's wireless market this way, as these smaller companies had been given an advantage in the periodic auctions for
Previous to 1935, Canada’s branch banking system was adequate for the country's needs for almost a century. The chartered banks delivered the bulk of the notes in circulation and could meet regular or unpredicted demands. The bigger banks were capable of dealing with government business without tension, and the branch system progressively developed a structure for clearing cheques among banks. The Great Depression, powered by deficiency circumstances and a worldwide economic slump, contributed to making an adjustment in government and unprecedented public criticism of Canada's banking system (McQuaig, 1995). During the Great Depression many provinces needed financial help from Ottawa to stave off default.

The excessive leverage caused banks’ bankruptcy during the financial crisis, which becomes an important tool for banks worldwide. Analyzing the differences in the using of leverage between Canadian banks and American banks is a necessary way to discover the reason why Canadian banks performed so strong in the subprime meltdown comparing to its neighbor.

For Canadian banks, as regulated, their leverage ratio cannot be exceeded 5 percent with the exception that they get approval from OSFI.
In the late 1970s and the early 1980s, the concept of “portfolio trading” or “program trading” was initiated to trade an “all-inclusive” portfolio, in most cases a portfolio that is made up of all the S&P 500 stocks in one order placed at a major brokerage firm (Gastineau, 2001). In the early 1990s, the development and innovation in technology along with the ever-increasing demand of trading in “all-inclusive basket” in the financial market pushed the creation of the first index-based funds with the characteristics of equity on the Canadian stock exchange markets (Deville, 2007). The advent of the Toronto Index Participation units (TIPs), which was designed to track the Toronto 35 index (TSE-35) gained huge popularity and attracted substantial investments not only in the domestic Canadian market but also from international investors (Gastineau, 2001). After three years of prosperity in the Canadian market, the first Exchange-Traded Fund in the U.S. market, known as the Standard & Poor’s Depository Receipts (SPY or SPDR) was introduced by the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) in 1993, with the goal of tracking the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (Gastineau, 2001).
