Despite high internet use in Canada, online shopping is slow.

Canadians are avid users of the internet and live in one of the world's leading broadband countries. And yet online purchasing has remained low. One reason is that many Canadian retailers aren't bothering to go online. Statistics Canada reports that only 38.2 percent of Canadian retailers have websites, and just 13.1 percent sell products online.
