    I mainly play short intraday strategy. I'm using questrade, but 2 out of 3 stocks i want to short, they need to borrow elsewhere, charge me like 10-20 bucks for under 500 shares.

    Any brokers you'd recommend?

    interactive brokers.

    If you want to play with more leverage intraday....Nevis Trading is also a good option

    IB has a pretty good short list and hard to beat commission rates.

    you will have to check with them. Please be aware of the offshore prop model of Nevis trading. They have been around awhile and have a good reputation. There are also some WTS related prop shops in canada but you will have to do your own DD on those.

    If you want to stay the retail route...then IB would probably be your best bet.
