One of the maintainers changed the name of the module and the methods 
function when fixing it to account for the URL change in December 2020.

* Original *

     sub methods {
       return ( tsx    => \&tsx,
                canada => \&tsx );
     }

* Current *

     sub methods {
       return ( tmx    => \&tmx,
                canada => \&tmx );
     }

Personally I have no preference on the fix, but I'm thinking that 
changing the function to the following will address the issue.

     sub methods {
       return ( tmx    => \&tmx,
                tsx    => \&tmx,
                canada => \&tmx );
     }

Gord, if you would like to do a quick mod and test and open another PR 
if it works, that would be appreciated. If not, I will see if I have 
time. I want to wrap up the few issues and PRs open and release F::Q 
v1.54 before the Christmas and New Years holidays if possible.

It is is something that should be a guideline. Unfortunately, most of 
the non-US exchanges are contributions from people outside of the main 
F::Q team. While those contributions are reviewed to ensure they work, 
usually checking against common identifiers is not done.
