Earlier this month, the platform released its list of the most viral web searches in Canada for 2022, including words, movies and people.
"This year's top search trends and news stories are filled with moments that brought Canadians together," an accompanying news release said.“Wordle” was the most popular trending search of 2022 in Canada, according to Google. The Canadian spinoff of the game called "Canuckle" was also in the top 10 in the country.
Data gathered by Google shows that Canadian searched terms for learning purposes, looking up events such as the World Cup, and reading news about the Russian war in Ukraine. The death of Queen Elizabeth and the U.S. midterm elections were two other “significant” international events in 2022 that made the Canadian list.
Celebrities, too, were subjects of Canadians' curiosity. The Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial was a popular search topic on Canadian computers, and Will Smith's slap during the Oscars ceremony brought Canadians to Hollywood headlines North of the border, the reopening of the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto was another term highlighted by Google.
