Can someone at CanadaStartups.org tell me how to get government grants for my small business?

You do not need someone to tell you how to get government grants, as it is somewhat different for each grant, and it is not an exact science. There are a few steps that are the same across the board, which you can use. The first thing is to find out what you need the money for and how much you need, and look for offers you can use at the local, provincial and national levels. Then you find out which one of these you are eligible for, based on their conditions, and write proposals to these programs. The proposal will be judged and the winning proposal from all the applicants will be chosen. The winning proposal writer will be awarded the grant.
