"The Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), a subsidiary of the TMX Group Inc., is the largest stock exchange in Canada, the third largest in North America and the eighth largest in the world by market capitalization." (Wikipedia)

Also, from the same article: "As of 31 December 2007, the TSX had 3,951 listed companies with a combined market capitalization of $2.2 trillion."

To me, that seems impressively large enough.

Sure, except as soon as someone mentions stock exchange your mind jumps to wall street. If I say peanut butter you think of jelly right, same thing. And as soon as that happens the TSX is not not the biggest in your mind. Same with Australia, you think wow that's big but not nearly as big as the US.
