Even though I’m still relatively new to trading, the CSA 2025 survey reads to me like a serious shift in the backdrop we’re operating in. When 65% of investment professionals say they’re concerned about the stability of Canada’s financial system, I don’t dismiss it—I treat it as a signal that underlying conditions are changing, not just day-to-day price noise. Cybersecurity, especially, is no longer something I assume the broker “has handled.” Our entire activity depends on digital infrastructure, and with AI-driven scams becoming more sophisticated, a single major breach could hit liquidity, confidence, and even access to funds.
Layer on geopolitical tensions and Canada’s persistent household debt burden, and you get a system that’s more fragile than the headline numbers suggest. As a newer trader, this pushes me to be more selective with the platforms I use, to diversify risk, and to focus on capital protection and security checks as much as chart patterns and trade setups.
