Side hustle to main hustle: The basics of starting a business

In the last couple of years, Lee's side hustle has taken off and she thinks she has a real chance of making it her full time gig. Opportunities are starting to appear and that's exciting but how does she properly capitalize to help make her business grow? Should she get an HST number or become incorporated? What are the pros and cons of both? How do you grow a business when you have passion and some viability but don't have much business experience? Janet Gray from Money Coaches Canada shares financial steps to consider when launching a business (even, and especially, if you don't really know how to do that). This episode was produced by Ghada Alsharif, Julia De Laurentiis Johnston, Sean Pattendon, Kevin Sexton and Andrea Varsany

Toronto Maple Leafs pitcher Ayami Sato, Anthony Santander, Ross Atkins and more

The Blue Jays introduced Anthony Santander, their first major offensive acquisition in four years, and we bring you clips of his media availability and interpret Ross Atkins' attempts to sidestep criticism for the Roki Sasaki debacle and the Jays' failure (so far) to sign Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to a contract extension. We examine the Cooperstown Class of 2025, as well as those who fell just short in the voting, and talk to Ayami Sato, the greatest female baseball player of the modern era, who will become the first woman to play pro ball for a Canadian team when she suits up for the Intercounty Maple Leafs this summer.

The missing link in Ontario's EV supply chain

Rebuild in Raptorland

Guest: Toronto Star basketball writer Doug Smith Hosts: Bruce Arthur and Dave Feschuk Five years ago, Masai Ujiri was among the most coveted executives in all of pro sports, his masterstroke trade for Kawhi Leonard landing the Raptors their first NBA title. In the five years since, the franchise has won one playoff series while languishing through less-than-inspiring moments that Ujiri himself has characterized as difficult to watch. In this episode, Arthur, Feschuk and Smith discuss Ujiri's post-championship swoon, including an inability to parlay the offloaded pieces of a title roster into a more formidable collection of assets. Though there are bright spots – including the emergence of Scottie Barnes as the franchise's foundational player – there are also plenty of question marks on the road to a future that's potentially more prosperous. PLUS: Arthur, Feschuk and Smith discuss the highs and lows of the post-championship comedown. This episode was produced by Julia De Laurentiis Johnston and Sean Pattendon.

Unpacking the parties' promises on growing the economy

Canada's political parties have now released their election platforms and put a price tag on their plans. Some of their costing is a little suspect, some uses creative accounting, it all fails to go far enough to address the problem economists say political leaders should be grappling with: increasing the country's productivity. This week, on "It's Political," we look at productivity. What is it, and what should Canada be doing to increase it. Then, we'll sit down and dissect the party's platforms: their math and what they are really doing to increase economic growth in the country. Does any party go far enough? In this episode: Don Drummond, fellow-in-residence at the CD Howe Institute and former TD chief economist, and Tim Sargent, a senior fellow and director of the domestic policy program at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute. Hosted by Althia Raj. This episode of "It's Political" was produced by Althia Raj and Kevin Sexton. Kevin also mixed this program. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel. Some of the audio clips this week were sourced from CPAC and CBC.

Choosing a responsible investment advisor
