More Canadians Shopping Online - CBC

According to a CBC article, Statistics Canada has reported that last year saw a 40% increase in online sales for Canadian companies. 68% of that was from business-to-business sales, though.

Canadian retail shoppers don't have enough shops to choose from. For one thing, many U.S. retailers don't want the hassle of delivering internationally. Secondly, so many Canadian retailers are dragging their feet in creating online distribution, like Winners, Reitman's, Smart Set, and The Bay/Zellers/Home Outfitters (HBC.com doesn't cut it), to name a few big ones. When will these companies get their acts together?
