cibc investor's edge.
6.95 a trade, no annual fees over 25k in your account.
It's not a bad layout. It's reliable. Reports it provides are ok (rueters, morningstar, and a few others), it links news related to the stock, blah blah blah, probably very similar to every other bank.
What I like is dumping money in is instant (a friend with TD says he has to wait a day).
What I find terrible is there is no tracking how your investments are doing, or if there is, I havent' figured out how. I have to manually calculate my ROI, which is ok going back a month or 2, but GFL any further back. I also do not like their rule for penny stocks where you can only invest 50% of your portfolio in one. I think that is unique to CIBC. Not that i've tested that yet for what their definition of penny stocks are (if its under $3, or if its under $3 with a low market cap, or low time period on the market, or what. A definition of penny stocks is pretty loose), but the principle of them saying I can't invest how i want bothers me lol.
They had a deal last year for new people signing up for it that you get 50 trades free or something..... which was actually a pretty good deal imo. Thier current deal sucks imo, 50k put in gets you $200, 100k gets you $400. Better than nothing but completely useless to anyone starting out.

+1 RBC
I know some people who use TD and imo their system is a bit more modern than RBC's ( for the life of me have never managed to get real time quotes to work but my buddy with TD gets them ), also RBC's investing app is straight up terrible and might as well not exist.
Overall it works, reliable, 9.95 a trade unless you make 150 or more per quarter or something in which case it drops to 6.65 a trade. Ties in with my banking which makes moving money around simple and its one page for me to get a quick glance at my finances.
I'm sure something like questrade would be cheaper but I prefer to be with a big bank if SHTF, that's just me though.

Questrade here.
The no commission ETF buys is great for the couch potato account. You can buy them in single shares if you want to. There is however a $0.0035/share ECN fee (yes it's $0.0035, so 0.35 cents/share).

A Ferrari is a high maintenance chick, you spend money regardless of what you do with her. You can baby the C63, or slap on all seasons, and you won't be spending anything but yearly maintenance. Of course that's like dating a stripper and refusing to fuck her, which would make you gay.

I used to use Interactive Brokers and TD Waterhouse.
TD had better research but trades were expensive.
Interactive Brokers was a hassle to set-up but trades were cheap and after learning the platform I really liked it.

I like BMO Investorline.
They give you access to BMO Capital Markets Research if you have over $500k in your account, which is a great tool.
