Find a small broker that have like <10$ commissions and start from there (If they have TFSA trading accounts even better)
Banks are better now. When I started a few years ago they were charging $30/trade. Now RBC only charges $9.95/trade.

Also, when I bought my goldcorp stocks, I bought 100 shares at $45.70 and 100 shares at $45.25, but RBC combined the two orders for 200 shares at $45.475 and only charged me one commission fee
