Canada Extra turns 10
Kids seem to grow from newborns to preteenagers faster than you can comprehend. I feel that way about this section, which
I can’t quite believe was launched 10 years ago.
The aim of the October 1997 Canada Extra and the one you’re reading is the same: to provide Canadians with information to help them use our Ratings. In many ways, the section has hardly changed in a decade, though we have begun to add original, Canada-only content--including this month’s report on the Mercedes-Benz B200 (available to online subscribers), which is not sold in the U.S.
There are also more of you reading Consumer Reports with Canada Extra than in 1997. We now have more than 150,000 print subscribers in Canada and almost 100,000 more subscribers to ConsumerReports.org. An additional 10,000 or so copies of Consumer Reports are sold on Canadian newsstands every month. If my memory serves (I’m an expat Canadian), those figures represent a sizable circulation for Canada.
We appreciate your support but we don’t take it for granted. Please write to CanadaExtra@cu.consumer.org and tell us what you think. We can’t reply to every e-mail message or implement every suggestion, but with your help we’ll try to keep growing to serve your needs.
