About This Report
Digital users in Quebec—most of whom speak French as their first language—have unique habits that are different from the rest of Canada. These include heavier consumption of TV and lighter usage of digital services and online shopping.
Table of Contents

The digital divide between French- and English-speaking Canada is still evident, even after decades of digital evolution. The gap isn’t huge, but it’s notable for media buyers looking to engage Quebecois consumers. It comes down to language, household economics, and a unique attachment to local media.

Key Question: How does French-speaking Canada differ from English-speaking Canada in traditional versus digital media adoption?

Key Stat: French-speaking Quebecois watch 11.2 more hours of TV weekly than do viewers in Anglophone Ontario.
