In what year did the Montreal Stock Exchange open?

  1. 1832

  2. 1901

  3. 1793

  4. 1875

The correct answer is: 1832

The Montreal Stock Exchange, now known as the Toronto Stock Exchange, was officially founded in 1832. This date is significant because it marks the first time that a stock exchange was established in Canada. Option B, 1901, is incorrect because this was the year that the Toronto Stock Exchange was officially incorporated. Option C, 1793, is incorrect because this is the year that the first stock exchange in Canada, the "Montreal Association of Brokers," was formed, but it would be another 39 years until it was officially recognized as the Montreal Stock Exchange. Option D, 1875, is incorrect because this is the year that the Montreal Stock Exchange was first recognized as an official stock exchange by the provincial government, but it was not officially founded until 1832.
