I'm pretty sure that NASDAQ has a larger trading volume than the TSX, making it "the largest stock exchange in North America to choose a floorless, electronic (or virtual trading) environment". The NASDAQ's inception date (1971), as a digital marketm is also well before the time the TSX went digital (1997).

[edit] TSX
The NASDAQ is not a stock exchange but an OTC market place with a central quotation system. The contra party to all orders is a market maker and client orders do not get posted to the book. It is an over the counter marketplace as opposed to a stock exchange. Therefore, the TSX was the largest North American exchange to abandon the trading floor. It is true that the NASDAQ far exceeds the TSX in tading volume and market capitalization, and even NYSE in volume of shares traded.
[edit] Comparing Dow Jones Industrial Average and the TSX Composite Index
It seems to be a rather meaningless comparison, so I'm going to remove it for the time being.
[edit] opening paragraph redundant
says third largest twice and other things twice//////////////////
[edit] What about the TSE?
An article about the Toronto Stock Exchange is deficient if it doesn't have a single mention of the TSE. It was renamed from the TSE to the TSX only in 2001, which means that it was known as the TSE for more than 123 years. The history portion of this article should be written to acknowledge the TSE as the historical name that it was. I know nothing of stocks and markets so I won't make the changes myself, but I remember well the traditional name for this entity and emplore somebody to make the revisions.
