TOP SEASONAL SEARCHES
Hockey dominated winter searches, but the cold months also brought elections and taxes. FIFA World Cup kicked it to hockey in the springtime with more than twice as many searches, even though the Oilers met Lord Stanley about a Cup around the same time. Also in the spring, Canadians stood up to be counted in the census, and then sat down again to watch Idol and Days of Our Lives.
Supernova exploded with summer heat, adding to the heat waves that worried Environment Canada. Alongside the sweltering masses across Canada, Dog the Bounty Hunter was in the kennel, Jessica Simpson was on the market, and Steve Irwin was on our minds. Hockey was back on top by the fall, completing the great seasonal cycle.
