How should a complete beginner go about investing money and getting into the stock market? What books or online info should I read to learn and get advice from?
I realized that I've had about 10k CAD sitting in a "Q Trade" account and it's made about 1k over the year. I have no idea how it works, if that's a good amount to have made, if I actually lost money (since our dollar is absolute shit and maybe 11k now isn't as good as 10k before, etc).
I really need to get into this because I'll have another 5-10k to invest next year. I appreciate any help. Thanks guys.

Firstly, read How To Read the Financial Pages by michael brett or Accounts Demystified.
Once you can read financials, begin with a British favourite of mine, The Zulu Principle. It will teach you some good growth investing and to only look for GOOD companies. It will also teach you value investing.
Then read The Intelligent Investor for some philosophy and approach commandments which you should always follow.

This, but mutal funds are better than etfs for indexes. So you can add to it over time with dollar cost averaging without brokage fees.
Some thematic/targeted index etfs are good in the intermediate though. Say utilities or XOP or URA something cheap now but will go up in the future that major indexes would underplay.
