Toronto’s main legitimate industries are finance, Matrix tech, and entertainment. The city is the third major financial center in the UCAS after Boston and New York, home to a large number of corporate and foreign-owned banks and trading houses. It has its own stock exchange, which sees a brisk business each day, and there is no lack of insider trading and datasteals that go along with it. Toronto has a thriving computer hardware and software industry, mostly start-ups and “cottage” operations specializing in software or making better widgets for computers and cyberdecks.
