RE:RE:Manipulation techniquesI would consider your suggestion. It makes sense not to repeat posts if only short sellers weren't doing the same. They tried to bury my posts under their fear mongering and repetitive posts so started using repetition to mimic their own behaviour and to increase the chance that new investors get exposed to their tactics before they get involved or before they sell. If I can save one person from losing their money I would consider it a win. I know that many Canadians work so hard and sacrifice so much to save up and invest and I hate it when some American hedge funds walk away with billions because some Canadians don't know what is going on behind the scenes. They did it so many times to so many Canadian companies that I decided to start spreading the truth about their shenanigans.
Many experts are raising the issue of short selling as a major problem in Canada.

Canada is a short selling haven Paul D. Davis, Charlotte Conlin, Shahen A. Mirakian, Leila Rafi, Sandra Zhao published a research article on McMillan (a leading business law firm) about short selling in Canada. Some of its conclusions:
- Based on our research, it is clear that IIROC’s largely non-interventionist approach and its focus on maintaining liquidity have made Canadian companies attractive targets for short campaigns.
- The number of short campaigns in Canada is utterly disproportionate to the size of our capital markets when compared to the United States, the European Union and Australia.
- As a result of inherent weaknesses in the Canadian short sale regulatory regime, short sellers may well be attracted to the Canadian capital markets.
- When compared to other regulatory regimes, the lack of transparency and the limited enforcement activity by IIROC raise significant issues related to investor confidence and market integrity.
- Canada is a Haven for Short Campaigners.
- The lack of any meaningful penalties for abusive short selling is likely a draw for short campaigners engaging in illegal short selling. There have been no significant regulatory prosecutions of short sellers conducting short and distort campaigns and few enforcement proceedings where short sellers were penalized for naked short selling.
