A few weeks ago, the Calgary Herald’s Pedal blogger Tom Babin asked cyclists, motorists and pedestrians for their thoughts on cyclist etiquette. The intention wasn’t to examine traffic laws, but rather explore ideas to guide our behaviour while obeying those laws. The response was huge, and hugely positive and inspiring.

INFOGRAPHIC: Check out the responses in full on the Pedal blog.

Right on Target? As U.S. retailers enter Canada, consumers lower expectations

Canadian consumers have an inferiority complex. Not only have we grown accustomed to having access to a fraction of the product selection available in the United States, but in typically polite Canadian fashion, we are so pleased when granted access to American products that we barely register a complaint when asked to pay more for them. Even when our dollar is valued higher than the U.S. greenback.

Fewer Canadians claim to be Jedi Knights in national survey

Strong, the Force is not. In Canada, at least.

Once numbering in the vicinity of 20,000, the ranks of those in this country who claim to be Jedi Knights have dwindled to fewer than half that figure, according to Statistics Canada’s first release of data from the 2011 National Household Survey.

“A lot less this time. I think there’s about 9,000 reporting Jedi,” said Jane Badets, a senior analyst at Statistics Canada.

How does your social media use stack up against other Canadians’?

One in three anglophone Canadians says not a single day goes by without checking into their social media feeds.

It’s one of many social networking statistics compiled in a new report by the Media Technology Monitor, based on surveys conducted in the fall with 4,001 anglophone Canadians.

Almost seven in 10 Internet users said they were regular social media users, logging on at least once a month. That figure was up by about six per cent compared to 2011.

Facebook remains far and away the most popular social network. About 63 per cent of Internet users and 93 per cent of social media users said they’re on Facebook.

While Twitter gets a lot of media hype and is growing rapidly it’s not all that commonly used in Canada, according to MTM’s numbers.
