TSX halted due to technical difficulties

[red sky]

So the TSX and Venture are currently closed due to technical difficulties and are both in an "emergancy situation". Perhaps someone hacked the system. From my TD account:

TORONTO - Canadian investors are in the dark this morning as a technical glitch prevents the Toronto stock market from processing data.
The Toronto Stock Exchange said it was "a service interruption" on its data feeds but no further details were available from the main stock exchange in the country more than 20 minutes into the trading day.

Wow, I can't even look at my holdings on my Investorline account.

I just downloaded my transaction history to a CSV file, just to be safe.

This is freaking brilliant. Why didn't they come up with this idea back in July? Call New York and London! Canada has officially saved the world from financial collapse..... 6 months too late.
