   Actually, there is some difference.  The US has some funny   
   rules about whether a trade is considered a capital gain,   
   and the tax rate depending on how long the stock lot is held.   
   Also, Canada tracks capital gains based on average cost   
   for the shares sold; the US does it by share lot.   
   That makes a BIG difference in the amount work.   
      
   Personally, I just use some spreadsheets.  Being of the   
   buy-and-hold-forever school, I just don't have enough   
   trades to need anything fancier.
