A Furry Christmas on the West Coast
December 19, 2007
Ok Canada.
Time to laugh and laugh and laugh at people from BC, yet again…
A new Ipsos Reid poll reveals that six-in-ten (61%) pet owners in British Columbia plan to buy (or have already bought) a present for one or more of their pets this holiday season. This includes 68% of dog owners, 61% of cat owners and 54% of other pet owners (e.g. fish, birds, rabbits, hamsters). Women pet owners (65%) are more likely than men (53%) to say they plan to buy a gift for their pet. Full story here
The Ipsos story has more facts about the kinds of things pet owners buy. My favourite is “13% of pet owners plan to make their pet a special holiday dinner.”
Now I’ll admit that our family is a little abnormal, we don’t go crazy with presents at Christmas, so Ozzie the Cat, cute as he is, is getting nada from St. Nick.
This is a bit of a drag.
Being a west coast cat, he’d really like a new Prius to sit on.

Oh No.
I’m so ordinary.
At least according to the latest research from Ipsos.
nearly four-in-ten Internet-enabled adults in Canada (37%) have visited an online social network or online social community and three-in-ten (29%) have placed a profile on at least one such site.
But it gets worse. I’m not even a ‘cool old guy’. There are cool old guys and gals everywhere…
…three-in-ten 35 to 54 year olds (29%) have visited such a site and one-in-five (21%) have placed a personal profile on one. One-in-five Canadians aged 55 and older (20%) have visited an online social network or community and one-in-ten (9%) have placed a personal profile on one.
OMG. This is the equivalent to wearing penny loafers in the 70’s, isn’t it ?
Read more, and weep, on the Ispsos site.
