Desjardins Online Brokerage (Disnat) is one of the first to offer $0 commissions on ETFs and stocks in Canada. I would definitely add this brokerage to that list.

Also, TD easy Trade's $0 commissions is only on the first 50 trades per year and free trading on "TD ETFs" only. That's extremely limiting. I would not buy these outside of a scenario such as this, and most likely not even then. Moreover, Itrade has 100 ETFs that you can trade for free without limit. There are probably more similar offers from other canadian Brokerages as well.

Questrade, NBDB, Desjardins, and wealthsimple all have commission free trades ($0 commissions) without limit on stocks and ETFs (not including options). Therefore, I would not include TD Easy Trade on this list, just not in the same class.

This is all good info. I was wondering if there is a chart somewhere of these $0 commission online Brokerages which includes additional information such as:
Norbert Gambit (NG)
a. is NG self serve or must call in?
b. is there a fee for NG?
c. Minimum amount need to invest for no annual fee?
d. are USD accounts available? Any fees?
e. Customer Service time to answer call, knowledge and helpfulness?
f. Other ??

Justin Bender WAS portfolio manager with PWL Capital Inc.
His videos ( 7 years ago) introduced about Norbert's Gambit at several brokers.

His articles about investment are good, you can search online to find them.

c.
You go to the Broker website, about annual fee...
