Here's an interesting asymmetry worth digging into: why can Canadian cannabis companies list and trade freely on US exchanges, while American cannabis firms face restrictions when accessing Canadian markets? This regulatory mismatch raises real questions about cross-border asset trading frameworks. The discrepancy likely stems from different compliance standards and legal structures between the two jurisdictions—what's compliant south of the border doesn't automatically align with northern regulations. For traders and investors watching both markets, this creates opportunities but also friction. Understanding these gatekeeping differences matters if you're navigating cross-border securities. Has anyone traced the actual compliance requirements behind this disparity? The mechanics are worth understanding before jumping into these plays.

To be honest, isn't this just a game of capital? Canadian companies can list on the US stock exchange at will, while American companies are stuck up north—capital flow has already explained everything. Who is arbitraging this loophole? The data must be on-chain.

Isn't this just classic regulatory arbitrage? Coinbase is thriving on the US stock market, while the US itself is getting stuck... Truly outrageous.

Ha, isn't this a classic case of regulatory arbitrage... Canada is so lenient, while the US is so strict, and when you turn around, the northern companies are already happily trading on NASDAQ. This is outrageous.

ngl this regulatory doublespeak hits different... like why does north always get the pass while south gets the hammer? 🤔 feels like watching two plots of the same tragedy unfold on opposite sides of a very convenient border. the asymmetry's not a bug—it's literally the feature. gatekeeping dressed up as "compliance"... anyone else see it or am i just being contrarian again lmao
