Canadian stocks are set to outperform US peers in 2023, according to experts who see the finance and resource-heavy market besting American indices with larger weightings in growth sectors like technology.

Three tips to help small businesses not fall victim to scams

Small-business owners have a lot on their plate, but fighting fraud should be a priority. Fraudsters often pretend to be someone you can trust and create a sense of urgency to act quickly.
