Perhaps it’s the geek part of me but I’m always fascinated by what people use the Internet for. Just in time for Canada Day search engine Bing shares their Top 50 Canadiana Search Terms. Did you expect these to be on the list?
“On July first, Canadians will join together to celebrate our country’s culture – Bing’s Top 50 Canadiana Search Terms list is a reflection of the many people, places, and things that affected Canadians this year,” said Eric Thaler, Bing Product Marketing Manager, Microsoft Canada. “From where to find the items needed to help combat extreme weather, to getting the latest travel tips and updates on noteworthy Canadians, Bing is helping more Canadians understand and act on the world around them.”
Bing’s Top 50 Canada Search Terms list, pulled by the organization’s expert data analysts, was sourced through the analysis of all Canada-related search terms from May 2013-May 2014. Like those searching Via Rail, Niagara Falls, and Ripley’s Aquarium Toronto I’m all about doing a little travel and site seeing now that winter is behind us.
Perhaps as a way to recognize what has been on the minds of Canadians as the take to their computers, Bing is offering one (1) EverythingMom reader a Bing Top 10 Canadiana Search Giveaway. The gift basket consists of something based on some of the top 10 searched items (valued at $100 Cdn):

I do alot of shopping on Etsy for gifts and that means alot of searching…lol.
Oh yes Rhonda I could spend a lot of time on Etsy too. So many great ideas.
Been searching for recipes….mostly for sides and salads to go with our BBQs!
I’ve searched at least 60% of the things on that list. Most of my searches lately have been for recipes and business hours for local businesses.
I searched lotto numbers
I’ve been searching vacation spots in B.C.
Love BC Nicole. I once lived on Vancouver Island.

My most common search is “(insert food/plant) toxic to cats” because my little guys want to eat everything, but I have to make sure it won’t hurt them before I give them a taste.
Yes with cats I’ve just come to the conclusion that we can’t own indoor plants. Let me know if you come across something that isn’t toxic. Miss the green.
I have been searching book review blogs,pictures for cover design and lots fo BBQ recipes.
