Broker recommendations
I've been using Questrade and CIBC for 10 years and everything is great, no complaints. Recently, a few US brokerages like Schwab have moved to zero fee trading. Wondering if there's anything like that in Canada?

I have my TFSA and a Margin account with Questrade, RRSP and LIRA with CIBC. If such a broker exists in Canada, I'd like to move my Margin account there since I make a lot of moves in there. All the other accounts just DRIP so I don't incur any fees. Paid almost $2k in trading fees this year so far, ewww...

qtrade doesn't have fees if you depost $100 a month into an account. well TFSA. but they charge a commission for trades, usually 6-8 dollars. So it would work out if you weren't a high frequency trader.

Wealth Simple Trade is good if you are only looking to buy CAD equities, and is a buy and hold type of investor.

The USD exchange rate they have is pretty steep and the platform in general doesn't offer much for the intermediate and up investor/trader.

Its a good introduction for sure. But as far as free platform goes, it is far from being Robinhood.
