Now that we’re drawing close to the end of 2018, we’re starting to take a look at how various services performed throughout the year.
Social media giant Twitter has unveiled its year-in-review, revealing what Canadians have been interested in during 2018.
The year-in-review discusses everything from Canada’s most used hashtags, to which female actresses got mentioned the most. It also shows which accounts Canadians mentioned the most and which sports teams were discussed most frequently.
Interestingly enough, 44th U.S. President Barack Obama sent out the tweet that was most liked by Canadian users.
Young people have helped lead all our great movements. How inspiring to see it again in so many smart, fearless students standing up for their right to be safe; marching and organizing to remake the world as it should be. We've been waiting for you. And we've got your backs.
— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) February 22, 2018
