John Vaughan, your contribution to beBee marketing is also huge. Once again I will point out that you are a great beBee advocate marketer and passionate supporter. Customer advocacy business model and advocate marketing are unified and tightly coupled in this case. Reply

One look at the development of the Canadian tech sectors speaks volumes why the infrastructure in Canada is conducive to greater participation. A July 2016 Brookfield Institute Report is one example http://brookfieldinstitute.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/The-State-of-Canadas-Tech-Sector-2016-V2.pdf Couple that with education, demographics and a different attitude to media (while Canada's media can vastly improve, American news media pails in comparison with depth/diversity of news story coverage) and then there is the case for Canada, articulated by media outlets such as Vox in their July 2016 story http://www.vox.com/2014/7/1/5843316/the-case-for-canada - and where American media like Vox succeeds, Canadians with a greater degree of connection have more access options and engage commensurately at a higher rate (rural areas are still lagging) as detailed by CIRA (Canadian Internet Registration Authority) making Canada 2nd to the UK in the G9 country ranks for Internet penetration https://cira.ca/factbook/2015/the-canadian-internet.html Reply

Looks like we better make sure that we install the bullet proofing option on our minivans... Reply

It's too bad the election is over Randy. Now we are going to have to come and invade Florida again as the weather cools. Reply

The answer is quite simple. The U.S. election generated a lot of hot air from the north. That's why it's still 60 degrees Fahrenheit in Chicago. Reply

I fully agree ! CANADA ROCKS ! Reply

Canadians love beBee and beBee loves Canadians. We are in love ! LOL Reply

Paul \ the high ratio of Canadian ambassadors is due to high Canadian activity and commitment Reply

#21 So... let's ask the question... If we are approximately 10% the population of the US, shouldn't the beBee population be representative? What needs to be done to attract more Canadians to beBee? The fact that they are more productive per capita is inconsequential to this question. Reply

I drew the short straw Don... we all wanted to. Reply

You have resolved a major issue for me Kevin: who would take the first pot shot about the kitten pics! Reply

Perhaps you could post more cat photos Don (now that you have all the ingredients at home)? Would that increase the adoption rate? Reply

Graham Edwards You are genuinely on to something here. Penetration in Canada is a little off kilter. We have just slightly more members than Romania, Belgium and the UAE. Reply

Now THAT'S a great story. Reply

I hear long, cold winters can cause freezing of the brain, causing citizesn of other nations to attribute a diagnosis of insanity to the citizens of Norway and other countries that have such long, cold, winters.... Oh wait!!!! Reply

I'm not a stats guy, but that looks pretty freakin awesome, I think. Reply

That's a good way to approach it Graham Edwards... If we had 14,440 more bees, we'd blow the other stats out of the water. I'll leave it to someone else to calculate the PPRPC (Producer Production Ratio Per Capita) of a Canadian vs other countries. Just an afterthought... I wonder what the skew would be should we ever entice Phil Friedman to come back to Canada? Reply

Nice numbers Kevin Pashuk I'm play contrarian. lol Reply

Charming? I can work with that. Garrulous might be another description. Reply
