So the reason we bring this up, because Vee the other day correctly guessed, I thought it was going to be national animal of Canada, and she said, "No, I think it's Alaska." But also, get this, the moose is also the official state animal of Maine as well. Yeah. Paul Verna:. That doesn't surprise me. Marcus:.

On today's podcast episode, we discuss how news on social media is different, if the movies are dead yet, the promise of new digital price tags, IKEA paying virtual employees in its virtual Roblox store, the most visited places in the world, and more. Tune in to the discussion with our vice president of content Suzy Davidkhanian and analysts Blake Droesch and Sarah Marzano.

I think that pennies at the minimum should be taken of commission at this point in countries like Canada, New Zealand and Australia have already done that. So there are no more pennies in their currency. And it's also due to the fact that the US Mint spends over $700 million making coins every year, which is just such a waste.

So 20% of all trees in Russia, 11% in Canada, 10% in Brazil, and 8% in the US. Those four countries, Russia, Canada, Brazil, and the US, account for half the trees on the planet. And finally, trees are only 400 million years old. So they've not been around for 90% of the Earth's history. Just trust me on all this, okay? Please don't go look up on the internet because I might be wrong.

Canadians, those lucky devils, have close to 9,000 trees for every Canadian. Ethan Cramer-Flood:. You should have led the podcast with this. This is just killer stuff. Marcus Johnson:. It's gold, isn't it? We'll just cut everything else out and just put this in. Oscar Orozco:. It would've been expected, the Canadian data point, but what was it? 422, that doesn't sound that bad.

Now, he had been an outstanding defensive player for 20 years on various teams in Canada, so it's not like he didn't know how to skate or was brand new to the game, but still, he'd never played goalie and helped them win the Stanley Cup Finals. Paul Verna:. Amazing. Marcus Johnson:. Probably not called the Stanley Cup Finals, the Stanley Cup, the NHL Finals. Was it the NHL then? Paul Verna:.

Its business model combines machine learning to scour trends across the internet with tight links to China鈥檚 vast manufacturing base and discount-driven social media and influencer marketing. Shein churns out vast quantities of ultracheap apparel that appeals to Gen Zers鈥� fashion sensibilities鈥攁nd their relatively limited spending power.

And this came to me because when I was in Canada over the weekend, Party City has a whole pop-up partnership situation with Canadian Tire and it is so easy to shop, the signage is there. Party City is globally run. It's over stored in the US. They have too many skews. It's hard to be margin positive. There isn't a lot of reasons why you would go to a Party City unless you're doing a party.

The US and Canada have very high rates of internet penetration and smartphone adoption, and gaming is objectively popular. Other regions seem less engaged with digital gaming by comparison, but it鈥檚 partly an illusion. Among internet users, the range between the most and least penetrated regions will be just 12.8 percentage points.

Sophie does our social media. Lance runs our video podcast. Thanks to everyone for listening. We hope to see you on Monday for Behind the Numbers Daily. That's an eMarketer podcast. Happiest of weekends.

Well, I watched Crimson Tide last night because I couldn't figure out what to watch, but I'm currently watching a show called Happily Married, which is this French-Canadian show about these two sets of parents who drop their kids off at summer camp and almost immediately get pulled into this life of crime and murder and violence. Marcus Johnson:. Oh, goodness. Max Willens:. And it's a comedy.

So I was a real estate broker based in Toronto, Canada, which I did live there for a while, so that part was correct, but it said that I had gone to University of Toronto, which I didn't. Rob Rubin:. It's a good school, by the way. Gadjo Sevilla:. Great school. Yes. It also said I had three children, which was completely incorrect. So that kind of threw me for a whirl. First time experience.

So, that's why I'm also not surprised that maybe in other countries, this hasn't worked, but here in at least in the U.S., Canada as well, I think that this is the right move. Marcus Johnson:. Yeah. Yeah. It's, as Max pointed out, growth has definitely slowed down.

As we talk about those incremental dollars, maybe it's incremental when it comes to Meta, it's already got billions and already by far the largest social media platform.

The Canadian government just said a national security review of TikTok's planned expansion in the country has been going on since September, so could get banned there as well. Let's finally turn our attention to a question that Trishla Ostwal of Adweek was proposing. What will a TikTok ban or sale mean for advertisers, Max? Max Willens:.

You can tune in tomorrow to hang out with Sara Lebow on the Reimagining Retail Show, where she speaks to head of retail and Canadian Suzy Davidkhanian and Canada expert Paul Briggs all about Canadian and US brands and why they work or don't work in each other's markets.

You're having a big hoard of folks who are starting to get on social media for the first time. (10:17):. Really quickly also, Jasmine, on the What's App numbers.

Upstate is like, you could see Canada. Marcus Johnson:. Is Westchester. Victoria Grace:. Westchester? Marcus Johnson:. Cut that out! Rahul Chadha:. That's definitely a city resident thing to say. Marcus Johnson:. They turned on me! Ross Benes:. I can see New York City from here. Marcus Johnson:. Yeah.

That includes 21 million folks in Mexico, 17 million in Canada, over 2 million in Brazil. At least three people in the UK who I could think of. So yeah, it's interesting how it's becoming more global. Oscar, anything to add here? Do you think it's changing, fundamentally? Oscar Orozco:.

And people do want to do other things in social media and I think TikTok is recognizing that. Marcus Johnson:. Yeah, one source I saw saying text is still people's favorite type of social media content. This was according to an April YouGov poll. Text was slightly ahead of images and then video. So it's still got it's place, even on TikTok apparently.

I love taking the random Canadian brand ones because obviously, it's not true but then I put a plug for Canadian brand. Roots Canada. Max Willens:. Nice. That is incorrect. Hermes is the answer. Stephanie Taglianetti:. Oh, Hermes. Max Willens:. They were around for 162 years before-. Suzy Davidkhanian:. Oh my gosh. Max Willens:. They IPO'd in 1999. Marcus Johnson:. Wow. Max Willens:.

Canada. Some cheating. Daniel Konstantinovic:. They got to reel it in. Marcus Johnson:. Canadian territory with the most coastline? Newfoundland and Labrador in the top right-hand corner of Canada. A beautiful country. Today's real topic. Spotify surprises itself. In today's episode. First in the lead will cover Spotify's surprising Q1.
