A summer 2023 survey revealed that most common method of getting online news among Canadian adults was accessing specific stories through a news aggregator like Google News, with 22 percent saying they did so every day. Podcasts and newsletters were the least likely way Canadians accessed online news on a daily basis, whereas clicking links found on social media was a popular choice.

As of the third quarter of 2024, Canadians spent an average of one hour and ** minutes per day on social media and more than * hours per day using the internet in general. TV consumption was also high at * hours and ** minutes, while Canadians devoted less time to music streaming or gaming activities. Internet usage trends in Canada Canada’s online population has steadily increased over the past two decades. In 2024, the number of internet users in Canada surpassed a record **** million, which translates to approximately **** percent of the Canadian population using the internet for information, communication, and entertainment. Given that most traditional media formats can now be accessed online, Canadians have gradually shifted from TV, radio, and magazine consumption towards digital channels. That said, some forms of analog media and entertainment experienced a surge in demand following the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020. What are the leading social media platforms in Canada? Social media has become one of the most popular online activities among Canadian internet users. In 2024, Canada’s social network user penetration stood at ** percent, and according to the latest forecasts, this figure will surpass ** percent by 2028. This rapid increase in social media usage is spearheaded by rising mobile adoption and the ever-increasing selection of digital platforms that Canadians can use to upload photos, send direct messages, or simply pass the time. Facebook was the leading mobile social media website in Canada as of 2024, outpacing Pinterest and Instagram by a large margin of visits.

Facebook and Google were both popular, whereas Twitter (now X) was the least visited major social network for news on an average day.

The AdjDlyRS dataset contains adjusted daily rainfall (R) and snowfall (S) data from all Canadian stations reporting rainfall and snowfall for which we have metadata to do the adjustments (Wang et al. 2017). The processing includes inspection and adjustments using quality control procedures customized for producing gridded datasets (Wang et al. 2017), including: (1) conversion of snowfall ruler measurements to their water equivalents; (2) corrections for gauge undercatch and evaporation due to wind effect, for gauge specific wetting loss, and for trace precipitation amount; and (3) treatment of flags (e.g. accumulation flags). Version 2020 or later versions of this dataset also includes identification and correction of random erroneous values, including false zeros, which usually arose from missing values being misrecorded as 0 precipitation in the climate Archive (Cheng et al. 2022). All the identified erroneous daily values are set to missing. A total of 3346 stations were processed, but the data series are not homogenized. Most of the stations are located in southern Canada and have short and/or seasonal data records. The number of stations changes over time: there are 512-958 stations in the period 1948-1964, 1012-2038 stations in the period 1965-2008, and only around 300 stations in the recent years. Note that the unadjusted/raw total precipitation data in Environment and Climate Change Canada's digital Archive underestimate more than 25% of the total precipitation in northern Canada, and about 10-15% in most of southern Canada (Wang et al. 2017).
