Where do the most romantic Canadians live?

Picodi.com analysis team decided to check the statistics of “romantic” queries on the internet in all provinces and created the ranking of the most romantic places in Canada.

In search of romantic

Our queries list consisted of terms like “Valentine’s Day”, “love confession”, “flowers”, “love”, and others which would associate with Valentine’s Day. During the period before Valentine’s Day, the frequency of searching these queries increases in whole Canada. However, in some places, the interest in making a pleasant surprise to the significant other increases more, and in some — notably less.

After looking closely at Google’s figures, it turns out that the most romantic Canadians live in Nunavut, Ontario, and Manitoba. In these provinces, the increase in popularity of queries connected to Valentine’s Day was the highest. It looks like cold temperature encourages Nunavut residents to cherish warm relationships more than others.

Among all provinces, the lowest interest in Valentine’s Day and all connected to it was noted among residents of Quebec(13^th place). Saskatchewan and British Columbia turned out to be quite unromantic as well (12^th and 11^th place respectively)

Here’s the full ranking of provinces:

1. Nunavut
2. Ontario
3. Manitoba
4. Yukon
5. Alberta
6. New Brunswick
7. Nova Scotia
8. Prince Edward Island
9. Newfoundland and Labrador
10. Northwest Territories
11. British Columbia
12. Saskatchewan
13. Quebec
