Canada’s securities watchdogs vow to regulate crypto sector more forcefully in wake of FTX’s collapse

Image
Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of FTX, speaks via a video feed from the Bahamas to The New York Times DealBook conference in New York on Nov. 30. HIROKO MASUIKE /The New York Times News Service Canadian watchdogs responsible for investor protection are banding together to enhance their regulation of the crypto sector, using unusually sharp language to threaten legal action against companies that remain resistant to outside oversight and warning trading platforms to stay away from one of the sector’s most nebulous assets. Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), a collection of provincial and territorial securities regulators, has pursued oversight of the crypto sector for close to two years, but the process of registering crypto trading companies is a complex task. It is also time consuming, considering that hundreds of trading platforms were already up and running by the time the watchdogs released formal regulations in March, 2021. Since the rules came out, many crypt...

Court refuses to allow class-action lawsuit to proceed against discount brokerage firms

Image
An Ontario judge has denied a class-action lawsuit against seven Canadian discount brokerages that alleged investors had improperly been overcharged billions of dollars in fees for a service they did not receive. Ontario Superior Court Justice Edward Belobaba dismissed an application to certify a class-action lawsuit that was filed against online trading divisions of four major Canadian banks as well as those run by HSBC Securities (Canada) Inc., Credential Qtrade Securities Inc. and Desjardins Securities Inc. The proposed class action estimated that since 1993, discount brokers – including BMO InvestorLine Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., CIBC Investor Services Inc. and TD Waterhouse Canada Inc. – have improperly collected about $5-billion in “trailing commissions,” which are fees for providing investors advice, a service discount brokers are not legally allowed to provide. Paul Bates, co-counsel for the plaintiff, which includes a group of do-it-yourself investors who had trading account...

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
