5 Unstoppable Growth Stocks to Buy Right Now for Less Than $200
Written by Daniel Da Costa at The Motley Fool Canada There's no question that growth stocks are some of the most exciting investments you can buy. These are companies with expanding markets, scalable business models, and the ability to increase revenue, earnings, and market share consistently over time. While they can be more volatile in the short term, the long-term upside they offer often far outweighs the risk, especially when you find the right businesses at reasonable prices. The best growth stocks don't just grow, they dominate. They reinvest in their own success, build competitive advantages, and steadily compound value for years. And when you buy these companies before they become household names, or when the market is temporarily overlooking them, you give yourself a real chance at life-changing returns. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars per share to get in on great businesses, either. Plenty of high-quality growth stocks still trade at accessible prices and offer serious long-term potential. So, if you've got cash that you're looking to put to work, here are five unstoppable growth stocks to consider right now that are all trading for under $200 per share. When it comes to buying stocks that can grow your hard-earned capital for years, defensive growth stocks like Jamieson Wellness (TSX:JWEL) and GFL Environmental (TSX:GFL) are some of the best to start with. A high-quality defensive growth stock is ideal because it typically has recession-resistant operations, yet it has a strong enough position in its industry that it can offer attractive and consistent growth. For example, Jamieson is a health and wellness company that manufactures and distributes products like vitamins and minerals, making it a highly defensive business. Yet at the same time, it has managed to grow its revenue at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.3% over the last five years. Meanwhile, GFL is a waste management company that has grown significantly in large part through acquisitions over the last few years. In fact, over the last half decade, its revenue has increased at a CAGR of 18.6%. Plus, with each acquisition, GFL is able to leverage its expanding scale to reduce costs and improve margins. So, if you're looking to put your hard-earned cash to work, a high-quality defensive growth stock is one of the best investments to buy and hold for the long haul. In addition to GFL and Jamison, two more of the best growth stocks to buy now are in the retail sector. For example, Aritzia (TSX:ATZ) has spent years building a loyal customer base by offering high-quality, fashion-forward clothing and controlling the full customer experience through its vertical integration. And with expansion into the U.S. gaining traction, Aritzia is positioning itself as a premium lifestyle brand with a significant runway for growth. In just the last five years, Aritzia's sales have increased at a CAGR of 22.8%, showing why it's one of the best growth stocks to buy now. Meanwhile, although Canadian Tire (TSX:CTC.A) may not offer the same sky-high growth potential as Aritzia, it's a much more established business and still has years of growth potential ahead of it. It has built a robust e-commerce platform, runs one of the most popular loyalty programs in Canada, and continues to leverage data from both to drive sales growth. Plus, in addition to the long-term growth potential, it offers a growing dividend with a current yield of 3.9%. Finally, one of the very best growth stocks to buy on the TSX over the last few years has been goeasy (TSX:GSY). goeasy is a specialty finance company that has consistently grown its loan book, improved its margins, and increased its earnings at an impressive pace. Plus, it continues to expand its product offerings and customer base while maintaining strong credit quality. This performance has led to incredible growth in its profitability. For example, in the last five years, the subprime lender's revenue has grown at a CAGR of 20.1%, while its normalized earnings per share have increased at a CAGR of 26.4%. So, if you're looking for top growth stocks to buy now, there's no question goeasy is one of the best.

Landfill operator GFL says ‘garbage juice' pond to blame for recent odours
A pond that collects 'garbage juice' is to blame for the latest spate of complaints about atrocious odour near a Stoney Creek landfill , according to the facility operator. But some skeptical residents say they believe the problems at the former Taro dump are more serious than a faulty leachate pond — and they want the province to step in to stop the 'gagging' stench infiltrating their homes. The private landfill, run by GFL Environmental, has been the target of criticism since an infamously stinky stretch in 2023 dubbed by residents the 'Summer of Stink.' GFL faces 10 provincial offences charges linked to those odour issues, as well as $15,000 in fines currently under appeal. But some nearby residents contend the smelly problem never really went away — and odour complaints ramped up again in early June, with residents expressing fears they would be trapped indoors for yet another summer . GFL did not respond to Spectator questions about the latest resident concerns — but on Sunday, the company emailed residents to say an 'internal review' determined the source of the recent odours is a leachate pond located near the Heritage Green community dog park. A leachate pond near the Stoney Creek landfill and Heritage Green Sports Park. Leachate is the collected garbage juice created when rainfall filters through buried landfill trash. GFL collects the liquid in a pond where it is pre-treated ahead of release into the city sewer system. Furious residents responded Monday by email and on a ' Shut Down the Stoney Creek Dump' Facebook group , describing two weekends of unbearable odours. The pond has been a stinky problem 'pretty much since GFL took over' the landfill during the pandemic, said longtime area resident David Strecker, who has sent photos of the treatment lagoon to the Ministry of Environment with questions about whether it is functioning properly. 'But that is not the only problem, at all,' he said. O'Neil Graham said he doesn't believe GFL's latest explanation for what he described as an odour assault, arguing the stench is worst near the active landfill. Waste relocation work is ongoing at the Stoney Creek landfill. He recalled a recent aborted effort to eat at a fast-food restaurant kitty-corner to the facility. 'We could not even roll down our windows to order without gagging,' he said. The frustrated homeowner off Green Mountain Road said he woke up recently at 3 a.m. feeling physically ill. 'The house just reeked, in the middle of the night — and what can you do?' he asked. 'It's not bearable. You shouldn't have to live like that.' Several residents reiterated a theme emphasized by area resident Louise Thompson last week, who told The Spectator she would like the province to at least temporarily shutter the dump until the odour issues are under control. The province has warned some odours should be expected as the company complies with an order to reduce the height of piled trash this year — an effort GFL has said will likely take the remainder of the year. The company email to residents did not specify what GFL thinks went wrong at the treatment pond, which is within a short walk of the splash pad and soccer fields at Heritage Green sports park, as well as a townhouse development off Mud Street. But the email said the company has stopped the flow of leachate into the pond, which will be 'drained to allow for the removal of sediment and sludge.' Once that material is removed, the pond will be inspected and 'any maintenance or repairs required will be completed.' The company is also working on a plan to build a leachate treatment facility for its active landfill. The Spectator reached out last week to the provincial Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks about resident concerns that the pond was to blame for some odours. Spokesperson Gary Wheeler said late last week the ministry was 'assessing potential sources' of the latest bouts of odour, including the pond. Error!

Algoma Steel sues contractor for $2M related to workplace fatality
Algoma Steel is suing GFL Environmental for $2 million in connection with the 2023 death of a GFL worker in 2023 at the steel mill. Algoma Steel is suing GFL Environmental for $2 million in connection with the 2023 death of a GFL worker in 2023 at the steel mill. Damien Bryant, 21, of Sudbury, was working at the steel plant as a contractor for GFL in June 2023 when he lost consciousness while cleaning the coke oven at the plant. He later died in hospital. Damien Bryant Damien Bryant was working at the steel plant as a contractor for GFL Environmental in June 2023 when he lost consciousness while cleaning an out-of-service gas line. He later died in hospital. (File) Ontario's Ministry of Labour charged the steelmaker with three violations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act in May 2024 in connection with Bryant's death. Algoma Steel was charged under section 25 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, including one count of failing to provide information, instruction and supervision to a worker to protect the health and safety of a worker in a confined space. The company was also charged with failing to ensure that the provisions of s. 4(2) of Ontario Regulation 632/05 were complied with and for failing to ensure that the provisions of s. 17 of Ontario Regulation 632/05 were complied with. In a statement to CTV News, Algoma said it contracted GFL in June 2023 'to perform specialized work under their supervision.' Algoma not the direct employer 'Tragically, a GFL worker lost their life during the performance of that work,' the statement said. 'This loss is deeply concerning, and our thoughts remain with the individual's family, friends, and colleagues.' 'Despite not being the direct employer of the individual involved, Algoma Steel is the only party that has been charged in connection with this incident,' the statement continued. 'We are defending ourselves against these charges and have filed a civil claim to ensure that the legal process fully and fairly considers the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved.' None of the allegations in the lawsuit have been tested in court. In the suit, Algoma Steel said GFL was selected and paid specifically for its professed competence and experience in performing such high-risk tasks. However, the lawsuit said, GFL failed to comply with terms of its purchase order, including performing services in compliance with safety measures, ensuring its personnel were trained, and have the required skills to perform the services. Specifically, GFL knew that workers should never enter the confined space of the coke oven gas main, because of the toxic air from the sludge. 'Despite this, on June 12, 2023, one of GFL's workers entered the coke oven gas main,' the lawsuit said. 'The individual asphyxiated in the coke oven gas main and was taken immediately to hospital where he was pronounced deceased.' 'Assume all liability' GFL's contract with Algoma stated that it would comply with 'relevant health and safety standards, regulations and legislation,' the suit said. 'GFL agreed to assume all liability under the Workers Compensation Act and carry public liability insurance with limits satisfactory to Algoma's insurance department, as well as comply with all safety rules and regulations.' The statement of claim states that GFL 'is required to indemnify Algoma for all damages, losses, expenses and costs incurred as a result of the breaches of the purchase order.' The steelmaker is also asking that the trial be held in Sault Ste. Marie.
