The US was by far the country that generated the most traffic to the Canadian-owned website, with the UK in second position, followed by France, Japan, Mexico, Italy and Germany.
Popular searches varied significantly across the US.
The states in which users stayed the longest on the website were: Alabama, Louisiana, South Carolina, Missouri, Arkansas, and Mississippi, all of which voted Republican in the last four presidential elections.
