High Yield Credit Sales/Trading in Canada

What does the high yield credit market look like in Canada? Where can I get some resources on this?

Does anyone have experience working on a HY desk at a big 5? How different is the work compared to the US?

For reference, I'm an incoming S&T summer analyst at one of the big 5 banks. Any advice on how to navigate a Bay st. trading floor would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Fairly sure that the credit desks cover both IG & HY in Toronto ... don't think the CAD HY market is big enough to have a designated desk for it
