If you hate fees as much as I do, it's absolutely a no brainier.
IKBR seems to be better for buying stocks, and I'm looking into splitting my activity between the two platforms, just need to do a bit more research.
FWIW a friend showed me TD's platform and it has access to loads more information/news/research/reports than Questrade does.

ToS (TDs trading platform, not webroker), is infinitely better than anything I've seen or used. It also has one of the hardest learning curves. In Canada, I don't think it's worth it though, as commissions are stupid high.
As I noted above though, it's worthwhile to get an account to chart at a minimum. I find I can get most studies and indicators I use on Trading View, but there are a handful of propriety studies that only ToS has, which are incredibly useful for the way I swing trade.
