Key findings from the Sneak Peek include the following:

  1. One in seven Canadians (13%) have pirated TV content or movies in the past month. Canadians who don't have a paid TV service (e.g. cable or satellite) are twice as likely to engage in this behavior compared to those who have a paid TV service.
  2. After an incredible marketing push, the 1st quarter of 2018 saw Canadians adopting smart speakers quite rapidly. Currently, 8% of Canadians report owning one and the Google Home speaker ranks first in popularity.
  3. Watching others play video games online has become a multi-million dollar industry?one in five online Canadians have taken part.
  4. How receptive are Canadians to adopting new technologies? 1 in 10 Canadians consider themselves to be "Early Adopters", meaning they're the first in their circle of friends to invest in new gadgets or technology.
  5. Close to three in five Francophones are watching English-language TV and movie content?half of those are doing so weekly.
