Assuming you have access to the Canadian market, which doesn't seem too difficult since I have access and I am British living in Asia. I would imagine most American brokers would offer access.
Why would anyone choose BAM over BAM.A? Since 2003, they have performed 643% and 1012%, respectively. Such a huge difference. Basically same dividend.
Likewise with CNI and CNR, who have performed 1576% and 2473%, since 1997.
With such huge differences, it seems like a no brainer.
Is it a tax thing?
Edit: I understand there is currency conversion involved aswell, but surely the better performance negates that.
