Download the newly published 2007 edition of our complimentary Fact Guide, a summary of the latest trends in Canada's online behaviour sourced from the Ipsos Canadian Inter@ctive Reid Report.
Originally introduced in 1995 as our "Canadian's and the Internet" report, this study was re-vamped in 1999 and 2000 to include quarterly tracking of relevant Internet related issues among Canadian consumers, and renamed "The Canadian Inter@ctive Reid Report". This quarterly tracking report provides subscribers with a detailed examination of who is on the Internet, why they are on it, and what they use it for. More specifically, the Canadian Inter@ctive Reid Report investigates the demographics, activities, and opinions of online Canadians with respect to the Internet and the New Economy. With this Report, Canadian organizations can stay in the know about the rapidly changing economic and social context of the Internet in Canada.
The Ipsos Canadian Inter@ctive Reid Report is based on 1,000 quarterly telephone interviews with a representative cross-section of Canadian adults in addition to 1,000 quarterly online interviews with a representative cross-section of Canadians who spend at least an hour online per week.
