[GNC] Trouble getting stock quotes from TSX

[Geoff]

Hi Gord

You are not doing anything wrong.  The data sources / web pages used by 
Finance Quote are constantly changing, and unless someone rolls up their 
sleeves and puts in the work to fix it, we end up in this situation with 
a number of sources broken, including TSX.

Regards

Geoff
