Scandal, gossip and taxes Yahoo! Canada’s 2006 what-we-cared-about list
March 9, 2007

The summary of overall 2006 search results found Canadians also looking for tax information, sports, weather updates, reality shows and tech trends. “Canadians are going online to find information that is relevant to Canada and significantly different from what our American counterparts are searching for online,” said Oliver Ho, Yahoo! Buzz index editor and pop-culture specialist.
