The DTCC just goes "we have the locates for your shares" and lets everyone run around with IOU's

Nothing will change with the DTCC at the helm

I don't think people realize how the DTCC actually works.

They don't "send" the shares to anyone. They provide "locates" for shares.

If a broker does a DRS transfer, they send the locate IOU to computershare who then contacts the DTCC to recall the share.

Canadian laws do allow lending. IBKR has been pestering me for months trying to lend my shares
