RE:whats the new rule that was recently passed about shorting? If you are referencing naked short selling then that is currently in the works through IROC but that won't help Bevcanna because the first move that IROC is trying too implement is the following:
"The first move came in January 2021, when the Ontario Capital Markets Modernization Task Force recommended a new prohibition against “misleading or untrue statements” about public companies. Why? Because Canadian markets are being threatened severely by “short and distort” and “pump and dump” campaigns. The same legislation was already enacted in British Columbia.
We are a ways of from IROC having the legal teeth to stop naked short selling but we can all only hope it doesn't take too loong.
