Bay Street

Canadian financial hub

Bay Street is the financial district of Toronto, Canada, and by extension, the Canadian financial industry as a whole—banks, investment firms, and the people who work in them.

It functions like Wall Street does for American finance: Bay Street analysts are skeptical of the merger.

The term often carries connotations of corporate power and influence in Canadian politics and economics.
