Toronto-Dominion Bank said it works diligently to prevent criminals from using the bank for illegal activity. Photo: Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesToronto-Dominion Bank ’s handling of suspicious customer transactions was behind regulators’ refusal to bless the Canadian lender’s $13.4 billion bid to buy First Horizon , people familiar with the matter said. The banks called off the proposed union Thursday, citing uncertainty over whether and when they could receive regulatory approvals, without being more specific. The reluctance by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve to give TD a clean bill of health on its anti-money-laundering practices proved to be the biggest obstacle, the people said.

Google says the test affects less than 4% of randomly chosen users in Canada and will run for roughly five weeks. Alphabet Inc.’s Google unit is blocking news content on its search function in Canada for some of its users, as it tests ways to respond to proposed legislation that would force online platforms to pay media organizations for links to their stories. Google’s move comes as the legislation from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ’s government is before the Canadian senate for debate. The bill, known as C-18, was approved by the lower house of parliament late last year. The legislation focused on online news links is part of Canada’s broader effort, championed by Mr. Trudeau, to regulate online content.
