staggering figures
when it comes to the number of Canadian Netflix users. These impressive numbers were a huge boon for Netflix, and the company has picked up a number of Canadian programs to distribute to the rest of the world.

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok grip the world. There’s a large userbase in Canada for every major social media platform.
