According to the website Shortdata.ca this is the amount of D-box shares shorted during this period.

My question is - when would there have been this amount of shares bought back in the months since? 

Someone please explain!

For what i understand in Canada, you would have your broker to lend you the shares to short it , but legislation in Canada do not prevent naked short from investors outside the country , they just shorted  the stock when it was at  0.24$.

So will these shares all have to be bought back to cover? Where could I find the current real-time short interest in any TSX listed stock? The short interest is published for US listed stocks ie. DBOXF - but to the best of my knowledge this is not public knowledge for TSX and TSXV stocks. Just the information on volume traded after the fact is listed on shortdata.ca.
