New to investing, what resources helped you learn the ropes? Canadians

I’ve just started getting into investing recently, and honestly, I feel pretty lost there’s so much I don’t understand, and the market moves a lot. I’ve read a bunch of articles online, but it still feels like I’m missing hands-on experience. I’m hoping to find some more practical, structured tools and resources like something that lets me practice with paper trading, or platforms with clear data analysis that help me really understand the market and make smarter decisions. I’d love to hear your experiences!
