Google has released its list of the top trending searches for 2021, and as one might expect, the top searches in Canada revolved around COVID, the federal election and of course, Squid Game.
It is important to remember that these aren’t necessarily the top searches or most-searched topics but rather, they’re trending topics that had a high spike in traffic over a sustained period in 2020 compared to the year before.
Without further ado, here are the top searches across Canada.
