I always love this time of year when we wind down and reflect on what’s happened in the past 12 months. We’re all in agreement that it’s been one of the wildest and most unpredictable year to date. Google Canada has just revealed some of the most searched topics in their annual findings Year in Search. It’s amazing to see what we were most interested in learning about and some of it is uniquely from a Canadian perspective. What’s also interesting is checking out how we compare globally.
