**Affirmed position.** Avoiding the Anticommons Tragedy in Canadian Securities Regulation concludes that nationalization or harmonization could increase Canadian securities business by lowering firm-level costs. This is a jurisdiction-specific counterpoint to Kaal's claims that jurisdictional competition adapts faster and harmonization can select the wrong rule. The abstract does not compare adaptability over time or establish that harmonization is generally superior.
