Canadian stocks are shares of ownership in companies that are incorporated in Canada and listed on Canadian exchanges such as the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) or the TSX Venture Exchange.

These securities allow investors to participate in the performance of Canadian industries such as energy, mining, finance and technology. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Canadian stocks within the last several days.
