Élargir l’accès aux Données Environnementales partout au Canada
Wednesday, December 18, 2019
Google a profité de la récente COP25 pour exprimer sa volonté d’
intégrer la durabilité
dans tout ce qu’elle fait, et de donner à tous les moyens de participer à la création d’un monde durable.
Les villes sont maintenant responsables de plus de 70 % des émissions mondiales. Pour lutter efficacement contre les changements climatiques, nous croyons donc qu’il est essentiel de leur fournir des données et des technologies pertinentes.
C’est pourquoi nous avons créé l’
Explorateur de données environnementales
(EIE), un outil en ligne permettant à des villes de partout dans le monde d’obtenir des données précises sur les émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) afin de réduire leurs émissions de CO2.
À l’heure actuelle, l’EIE fournit des données à une centaine de villes dans le monde, dont 40 au Canada. Notre analyse de 2018 établissait à 116 millions de tonnes les émissions de GES de ces 40 villes, à plus de 172 milliards de kilomètres (quatre millions de fois le tour de la Terre!) la distance parcourue par leurs habitants grâce à différents moyens de transport, et à plus de 46 gigawatts leur potentiel solaire.
Burlington, Laval, Toronto, Moncton, Nanaimo, Saskatoon, Calgary, Kitchener et Sault Ste. Marie font partie des villes canadiennes dont les données sont accessibles dans l’outil.
Soutenir l’action locale dans les villes canadiennes
Depuis l’élargissement de l’accès à ces données environnementales
plus tôt cette année
, nous avons collaboré avec des municipalités, des services publics et diverses organisations concernées par l’élaboration de plans d’action climatiques de six provinces, dont le Nouveau-Brunswick.
« Nous sommes ravis d’avoir collaboré avec Google pour inclure les données de Saint John, Moncton et Fredericton dans l’EIE, déclare Gaëtan Thomas, PDG d’Énergie NB. Énergie NB s’emploie depuis des années à réduire ses émissions de carbone, et nous sommes convaincus que ces données aideront les Néo-Brunswickois à trouver une foule de solutions novatrices pour lutter contre les changements climatiques. »
Au Nouveau-Brunswick, les villes de Fredericton, Saint John et Moncton se concertent pour résoudre des problèmes communs, comme les émissions de GES.
Leurs maires voient l’EIE comme une ressource utile dans leur action conjointe pour le climat : « Pour les trois plus grandes villes du Nouveau-Brunswick, l’Explorateur de données environnementales de Google est une source de données supplémentaire pour comprendre l’empreinte carbone des collectivités. Grâce à lui, les citoyens, entreprises et chercheurs qui s’intéressent à la réduction des émissions ont un accès direct à l’information. »
Nous ne nous contentons pas de fournir aux villes des données plus complètes; nous explorons aussi des moyens d’aider les collectivités à transformer ces données en plans d’action à l’échelle locale.
« Maintenant que les données de Burlington sont accessibles dans l’EIE, nous disposons d’un outil unique pour aider la population à comprendre, dans le cadre de notre plan d’action pour le climat, notre incidence collective sur les changements climatiques. » Marianne Meed Ward, mairesse de Burlington
Transformer les données en plans d’action
L’EIE se fonde sur des
données cartographiques
anonymes et hautement agrégées et sur des facteurs standards d’émissions de GES pour estimer les émissions de carbone des immeubles et moyens de transport, ainsi que le potentiel énergétique solaire des villes. Les données ont été
vérifiées par des organismes réputés
et servent déjà à l’élaboration de mesures pour le climat allant des initiatives pour encourager l’usage du vélo à la production d’énergie solaire.
« Les données et les capacités de modélisation de l’EIE de Google fournissent à West Vancouver de l’information importante dans la lutte contre les changements climatiques, un enjeu auquel la population locale est sensible. Nous nous réjouissons de la liberté d’accès à la plateforme, qui favorisera l’émergence de solutions novatrices et nous aidera dans nos efforts pour protéger le climat et la collectivité. » Mary-Ann Booth, mairesse de West Vancouver
L’obtention des données désormais fournies par l’EIE exigeait auparavant des mois d’études et l’investissement d’un grand nombre de ressources de la part des villes désireuses de se doter d’un plan d’action climatique. En utilisant les sources de données et calculs de Google pour dresser très rapidement un état des lieux complet à l’échelle d’une municipalité, l’EIE évite à celle-ci de recourir à un processus fastidieux et coûteux de collecte et d’analyse de données.
Données détaillées sur les déplacements et les émissions connexes à Nanaimo
« La Ville de Nanaimo est heureuse de faire partie des premières municipalités incluses dans l’Explorateur de données environnementales de Google, déclare Leonard Krog, maire de Nanaimo. Nous sommes résolus à prendre des mesures concrètes pour combattre les changements climatiques. Cette plateforme permet d’obtenir rapidement les données précises dont nous avons besoin pour mettre en œuvre et maintenir les mesures visant à réduire nos émissions. »
La lutte contre les changements climatiques exige des mesures concertées immédiates
À l’heure où les villes, les collectivités et les entreprises du monde entier s’unissent pour le climat, l’accès aux données environnementales demeure crucial. Soucieux de participer à l’effort, nous tenons à remercier les autorités municipales et les leaders climatiques tournés vers l’avenir qui ont collaboré à cette initiative.
Comme Marc Demers, le maire de Laval, l’explique : « L’utilisation d’un tel outil et la collaboration avec une entreprise comme Google permettront certainement de mieux planifier l’action climatique et de sensibiliser la population à l’importance et l’urgence d’agir. Ceci est particulièrement important pour la Ville de Laval, puisque la lutte aux changements climatiques nécessite l’implication de tous. »

Expanding Environmental Insights Across Canada
Monday, December 16, 2019
At COP25 this year, we shared how Google is focused on
building sustainability
into everything that we do and making it possible for everyone to build a more sustainable world.
As cities now account for more than 70 percent of global emissions, we believe that empowering city governments with comprehensive, climate-relevant data and technology can play a critical role in driving action.
One way we are doing this is with our online tool, the
Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE)
, providing high-resolution data to cities across the world to measure greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and take informed action to reduce CO2 emissions.
As of today, EIE now provides this data to 40 cities across Canada, among a cohort of over 100 global cities. In 2018, our analysis for these 40 cities estimates 116 million tons of GHG emissions, over 172 billion kilometers travelled (the equivalent of circumnavigating the earth over 4 million times!) by various modes of transport, and a solar potential of over 46 gigawatts.
Canadian municipalities now available on EIE include, among others, Burlington, Laval, Toronto, Moncton, Nanaimo, Saskatoon, Calgary, Kitchener and Sault Ste. Marie.
Empowering local action in cities across Canada
Since expanding access to these environmental insights
earlier this year
, we have worked with municipalities, utilities and other organisations critical to municipal climate action planning across 6 provinces in Canada, including the province of New Brunswick.
Gaëtan Thomas, CEO of NB Power says, “We are thrilled to have worked with Google to bring EIE data to the cities of Saint John, Moncton, and Fredericton. For years, NB Power has been working diligently to reduce our carbon emissions; and we’re confident that putting data like this into the hands of New Brunswickers will lead to many more innovative solutions for carbon emission reduction.”
In New Brunswick, the cities of Fredericton, Saint John and Moncton collaborate together on a variety of topics and work to solve common issues, including the challenge of lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
Under the Tri-Cities Mayors Group which represents this collaboration, they see value in using EIE to tackle climate action together, saying, “Google’s Environmental Insights Explorer gives the three largest New Brunswick cities another tool and dataset to understand the carbon footprint in each of their communities. It puts information directly into the hands of citizens, businesses and researchers who also have an interest in lowering emissions.”
As we look beyond our latest efforts to equip cities with more comprehensive data, we’re also exploring how we can help communities turn these insights into action at the local level.
“With Burlington’s data now available on EIE alongside other communities, we’ll have a unique tool to help residents understand our collective impact on climate change, as part of our Climate Action Plan.” - Mayor Marianne Meed Ward
Turning data into action
EIE relies on anonymous, highly aggregated
mapping data
and standard GHG emission factors to estimate city building and transportation carbon emissions, as well as solar energy potential. The data has been
validated by leading organisations
, and we’re already seeing the early impacts of cities putting the power of EIE data behind climate plans, from bike-friendly initiatives to solar programs.
“Google’s EIE data and modeling capabilities provide important information for West Vancouver as our community responds to climate change. Our residents are engaged on this critical issue, and we are particularly excited that this platform is available for everyone to use. We anticipate innovative ideas will result, advancing our efforts towards a better climate and a better community.” - Mayor Mary-Ann Booth of West Vancouver
The insights that EIE provides have traditionally required many months of research, and a lot of resources for cities undertaking a climate action plan. By using Google’s own data sources and computations to produce a complete survey of a city that can be assessed very quickly, EIE helps a city leapfrog tedious and costly data collection and analysis.
Nanaimo transportation emission and detailed activity data shown on EIE
“Nanaimo is thrilled to be one of the first communities included by Google on their Environmental Insights Explorer” says Mayor Leonard Krog. “Our community is committed to making positive changes to tackle climate change. This platform will help us measure with greater speed and accuracy so we can plan and continue to make changes to reduce emissions.”
Addressing climate change requires urgent action from all
Making environmental information available will continue to be critical as cities, communities and companies worldwide band together to address climate change. We’re committed to doing our part, and want to extend our thanks to the forward-looking city officials and climate leaders collaborating with us on this project.
As Mayor Marc Demers, City of Laval, says, “Google’s EIE tool will enable us to raise awareness on the importance and urgency for climate actions. This is particularly important for the City of Laval, since the fight against climate change requires involvement from all.”

Wednesday, December 11, 2019
From Kawhi Leonard’s
buzzer beating shot
in the NBA semi-finals, to
Bianca Andreescu’s
historic run at the Rogers Cup and the US Open, Canada searched for champions on Google in 2019, closing out the decade on a winning note.
The Year in Search is Google’s annual analysis of
trillions of searches
performed globally throughout the year. Here are Canada’s top trending searches of 2019:

9. Canada celebrates the heroes of the
Fort McMurray wildfire
10. Canada arrives on the world stage like never before with the
Vancouver 2010 Olympics
A decade of fandemonium
It’ll come as no surprise that the Vancouver Olympics was the top trending search of 2010. We were brought to tears by
Joannie Rochette’s
courageous bronze medal figure skating win, just days after her mother had died. We flooded streets across Canada in celebration after the women and men’s Canadian hockey teams clinched gold. And the nation began our decade-long love affair with ice dancers
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir
.
The rise in prominence of Canadian sports continued throughout the decade. The
Toronto Blue Jays
dominated search in 2015, with Jose Bautista’s
bat flip
being one of the top trending moments of the year. In 2017, the
Ottawa Senators
(almost) made it to the Stanley Cup finals in a run that landed them at the top of trending searches. In 2019, searches for Kawhi Leonard grew by
almost 90% worldwide
following his buzzer beater shot in the NBA semi-finals while prompting a spike in Canadian searches for “how to sign my kid up for basketball camp?”
Within a few months, Canada went from #WeTheNorth to
#SheTheNorth
. Canadians searched for “what is Bianca Andreescu’s ranking?” after beating Serena Williams in incredible back-to-back victories at the Rogers Cup and US Open.
A decade of celebrating Canadian heroes
In the past decade, we watched
Chris Hadfield
become the first Canadian commander of the International Space Station and civil rights activist and businesswoman
Viola Desmond
added to our currency. People marched in solidarity at
Women’s Marches
in January of 2017 and firefighters and first responders became national heroes following the fires in Slave Lake & Fort McMurray, Alberta.
A new Prime Minister and new Canadians
We welcomed 25,000 Syrian refugees and witnessed the election of a new Prime Minister that drew
major search interest around the world
.
Canadian music’s global coming of age
In the past decade, YouTube has changed the definition of fame: Stratford’s
Justin Bieber
is currently the most subscribed artist on YouTube (47.2 million subscribers), appears in six videos with over one billion views and has over 19 billion views on his
Official Artist Channel
.
In 2015, news of Gord Downie’s cancer diagnosis and The Tragically Hip’s summer tour generated an outpouring of emotion from Canadians far and wide. At The Hip’s final concert in Kingston, Ontario, their last song,
Ahead by a Century
, brought thousands of fans from St. John’s to White Horse together in a moment of national catharsis.
Maybe it was God’s plan? Drake is now just one song away from tying the all-time record for the most career entries on the Billboard Hot 100. And in the last decade, Drake has become the undeniable
unofficial global ambassador
for Toronto — the Toronto native literally gave the city a
new moniker
.
2020 and beyond
As we embark on a new decade, Canadians are already turning their attention to what the future holds. From concerns around climate change (we searched for climate change
75% more
in 2019 than 2015) to how to find a new job and how to
start a family
, in 2020 Canadians will search for answers to our biggest challenges, together.
Search on, Canada.

Google.org Grant recipient Arctic Eider Society, launches by Inuit, for Inuit platform
Monday, December 9, 2019
In 2017, we launched the Google.org Impact Challenge, a nationwide competition to identify and fund organizations that are using technology to tackle Canada’s biggest social challenges.
Following several weeks and several rounds of evaluation, over 900 of these hopeful non-profits refined their pitches and
10 winners were awarded a collective $5M
to bring their ideas to life. These organizations received not only funding from Google.org, but also mentorship from Google volunteers, as well as capacity building and strategic support from
LEAP Pecaut Centre for Social Impact
(a venture philanthropy firm incubated by BCG) to drive deep impact across the country.
Among those 10 finalists, the
Arctic Eider Society
, an Inuit-driven non-profit based in Sanikiluaq, Nunavut, stepped forward with a compelling mission to develop a living archive of Inuit knowledge called
SIKU
(meaning ‘sea ice’ in Inuktitut), that helps communities adapt to climate change.
The changing face of sea-ice and Inuit knowledge
For tens of thousands of Inuit in Canada, sea ice represents a map of the north and is integral to their way of life, but changing conditions make navigation unpredictable and limits access to traditional foods for Arctic communities. “The weather is changing, the ice conditions are changing. When we are driving a snowmobile or walking, we have to think before we get on that ice.” states Puasi Ippak, a youth from Sanikiluaq.
The SIKU platform will provide a set of open-source tools that help Inuit communities map changing sea ice, and build a living archive of Inuit knowledge to help inform decision making for stewardship and sustainable development. “By using novel techniques to document and access land-use observations in real time, SIKU supports Inuit self-determination in research, education and environmental stewardship.” states Joel Heath, Executive Director of the Arctic Eider Society.
SIKU’s technology enables Inuit knowledge to be recorded in a variety of ways
SIKU enables Inuit communities, people on the frontlines of the negative impacts of climate change, to record their knowledge and observations of the land in ways that elevate their recordings to a status far beyond anecdote. “Oral history has been a big part of our lives especially in the Inuit tradition, where nothing was written - everyone just had a good memory of what was handed down to them.”, explains Lizi Kavik, from Sanikiluaq. Furthermore, this oral history is laden with subtle influences of traditional Inuktut languages, “The water on the bottom of the snow, it’s called '
aputainaq
'. It’s important to learn about the ice conditions in Inuktitut.”, says Puasi.
A novel and coordinated approach to technology
At its core, SIKU is a social media technology platform and mobile app developed by and for Inuit. It includes timelines, maps, profiles and commenting/sharing as well as a GPS with traditional place names, weather, tides, satellite imagery and ice safety services, all in one place. “Through SIKU, we are building new ways to show how Inuit knowledge and science can work together”, explains Lucassie Arragutainaq, Manager of Sanikiluaq Hunters and Trappers Association and member of Arctic Eider’s Board of Directors. “SIKU helps us gather all of this information in one place, and is a safe place for our hunters and elders to share our knowledge and stories, which is important for our youth.”
An Elder and Hunter review SIKU community stories that have been shared as posts
Improving communication and ice-safety with data
SIKU leverages the power of Google Earth Engine for geospatial analysis and satellite imagery to help build the Inuit ‘map of the north’. Jonassie, a local hunter, encountered a small crack in the ice one day while travelling, a crack which was also visible through satellite imagery. Using the SIKU app, he took a photo of the cracked ice, marked its location on the satellite image layer, and tagged it as ‘
siqummaq
’, a type of ice formation that can drastically change with wind direction.
A screenshot from SIKU depicting ‘siqummaq’ ice and other observations
This dangerous ice observation was then visible to all SIKU users, and the next day, Sentinel 2 satellite imagery served through Google Earth Engine showed the crack had indeed expanded and was impassable. Simeonie Kavik, a hunter from Sanikiluaq, commented on another observation in SIKU, “This sea ice is no good, if you try and pass by through this, you’ll lose your snowmobile.”
By Inuit, For Inuit
SIKU is an Inuit-driven platform, and today counts among its users communities from all around Canada’s Hudson Bay and Arctic coastline. The SIKU app can be downloaded to
Android
and
iOS
devices, and is available as an online platform at SIKU.org.
Google believes technology can make a better world, faster. The Arctic Eider Society is emblematic of this belief, and we’re excited to witness the impact SIKU will undoubtedly have for Inuit communities across Canada.

Ronald McDonald House Charities Canada and Google team up to help families stay connected
Tuesday, December 3, 2019
Editor's Note: today's post is guest authored by Cathy Loblaw, CEO, of Ronald McDonald House Charities Canada
With Google’s help, we’re excited to give our families with sick children more ways to stay connected to their friends and family this holiday season and all year long.
65% of Canadians live in communities without a children’s hospital. This means that when a child is seriously ill, families need to travel to one of Canada’s pediatric hospitals for the treatments – sometimes for weeks, or even months. During that time, they are away from their community, their family, their friends, their entire support network, just when they need it most.
Google’s generous in-kind donation of their latest devices (including Nest Mini, Nest Hub Max, Pixel 4, Nest Wifi, Chromecast and YouTube Premium Subscription) to Ronald McDonald Houses and Family Rooms across Canada will help families stay connected to their loved ones back home. Whether it’s making a call to Dad from RMHC Toronto or playing holiday music throughout the House while decorating at RMHC Saskatchewan, Google products will lend our families a helping hand.
To celebrate this gift of technology, Google surprised RMHC Toronto families earlier this month with the help of Google Ambassador Pascal Siakam, creating a magic moment for families, volunteers, and staff.
Every year, the RMHC network of programs in Canada helps more than 26,000 families stay close to their sick child and the care they need. To learn more about our collaboration with Google visit

Q&A with Sébastien Puel, general manager of Stadia's studio in Montréal
Friday, November 29, 2019
Note from the editor: Sébastien Puel was recently named General Manager of Google’s Stadia Games and Entertainment studio in Montréal. We sat down with him for a short Q&A to gain insight into the vision he has for the studio and the gaming ecosystem as a whole.
Q. What drew you to Stadia?
I believe in Cloud gaming and the benefits it can bring to gamers. The ability to play on any screen, without any hardware barriers, will radically change the industry in the coming years. Stadia will not only open gaming to new demographics, it will also make new types of experiences and designs possible. Stadia represents a gaming revolution and I wanted to be a part of it.
Q. Why did Google choose Montréal as a location for its first AAA studio?
Montréal is a special place, full of creativity and originality. There is incredible passion for gaming in this city, and I’ve been fortunate to see it grow and mature. Over the years, this city produced some of the best talents and greatest games in the world. With 13,000 developers, major studios, a dense network of indys, Montréal is an industry hub. And now, for the first time, a first party studio opens. It says a lot about the ecosystem that has been built here over the years!
Q. Your first order of business as the studio’s GM is to build a team - what has been the response so far?
The response has been truly exciting! As it appears, I’m not the only one drawn to Stadia’s mission. In just a few months, we’ve received thousands of applications for a limited number of job openings. We’ve conducted hundreds of interviews. Internally, Googlers have been coming forward to work on Stadia. We’re attracting great talent not only from Montréal, but also from around the world. We’re building a world-class team.
Q. What excites you about your role at Stadia?
What excited me when I started my career a decade ago still holds true today - it's the opportunity to create not just games, but games that gamers will love. And as someone who has strived to do that my whole career, the journey to creating those games starts with building great culture, process and teamwork. In the end, it comes down to one thing: empowering teams. Bringing the best talents together and designing with them the best environment for creativity and success. Of course, the end result is crucial. We all want to make great games that change the world. But first and foremost, it is about ‘how’ you achieve this: the culture, the processes, the team work. A video game team is a strange beast. It is not about technology alone. And it is not all about art and design. It’s about the merging of both -- the left and right brain hemispheres working in tandem and in equal proportion. This is what is unique in the gaming industry and I am not sure I could find it anywhere else.
Q. How will you measure success?
Games have changed a lot in the past 20 years. Success was often measured by sales and positive reviews. Now success boils down to how much of a community rallies around the content. It is about building mutual respect between the creators and a community who share the same passion for the content and gaming experiences. Our ambition is to build games that will continue to evolve and that people will keep playing in 10, 15, 20 years to come! This is the kind of success we strive for.
Q. Game creation requires creativity. How do you define creativity and how do you intend to foster it?
I have been part of teams that have created some of the industry’s most memorable games. Creativity thrives in environments that allow new ideas to bloom and thrive: with clear goals, a lot of team ownership and a great sense of safety. This last point is very important to me. Safety allows people to speak their mind, share ideas even if they are unorthodox, voice their concerns. Safety is created by a team’s culture: how it embraces diversity, how it creates trust between its members, how failures are fully accepted as part of the creative process. With that in mind, Google is a great place to create games, as these values are part of its operating system.
Q. There’s clearly a lot of exciting work to be done. How do you make sure your team has a good work-life balance?
I am a father of 3 kids, I am involved in my community, I love cycling, running, boxing, cross country skiing. You can do all that and be a game developer! There has been incredible progress done about work-life balance in studios since their inception 20+ years ago, and I think it is especially true in the big studios in Montréal. Processes and cultures have matured. Work life balance is a critical part of Google - and now Stadia’s - culture.
Can anyone match Freddie Mercury’s legendary voice? Queen and YouTube Music are challenging fans to find out!
Thursday, November 14, 2019
New Google built AI-powered singing challenge -
FreddieMeter
- rates how closely fans can mimic Freddie Mercury’s voice
Take on the #FreddieChallenge now in support of the Mercury Phoenix Trust
“
Bohemian Rhapsody
” is considered one of the greatest rock songs of all time, so it’s no wonder the music video recently
hit 1 billion views on YouTube
. For decades, fans have belted out the song’s iconic lyrics alongside Freddie Mercury’s one-of-a-kind vocals, but how many can really sing it just like Freddie? YouTube, Google Creative Lab, and Google Research, working in partnership with Queen, Universal Music Group and Hollywood Records, have built a new AI experiment called
FreddieMeter
to find out!
Released in support of
Mercury Phoenix Trust
, a charity founded by Brian May, Roger Taylor and Jim Beach to raise awareness and funds for the fight against HIV/AIDS, and in honour of the 44th anniversary of the band’s first-ever live performance of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” at the Empire Theater, Liverpool, U.K in November 1975; FreddieMeter was created to let fans around the world determine how closely their singing matches the voice of Queen’s legendary frontman, Freddie Mercury.
FreddieMeter
shows users how closely their voice matches Freddie Mercury’s legendary range by analyzing the singer’s pitch, timbre, and melody to assign them a score of 0 to 100. Queen fans, killer impressionists, and anyone who enjoys a little karaoke and are ready to step up to the challenge can get started by doing the following:
SING: Pick one of four QUEEN songs on the
microsite
(Bohemian Rhapsody, Don’t Stop Me Now, Somebody to Love or We Are the Champions) and sing your heart out!
SHARE: Get your score and share! Download the custom scorecard asset directly to your device, then share it on YouTube and other social media.
CHALLENGE: Using the hashtag #FreddieChallenge on social channels, challenge three friends to see how they measure up.
DONATE: Encourage a charitable donation to Mercury Phoenix Trust in your post →
http://www.mercuryphoenixtrust.com/donate
Google Creative Lab and Google Research created FreddieMeter using
new on-device machine learning models
, and it’s been trained on Freddie’s isolated vocals as well as samples of people trying to sing like Freddie. FreddieMeter is trained on and optimized for individual singers and works on desktop, Android and iPhone devices and the audio doesn’t get uploaded to any servers to be analyzed, so all vocals stay totally private unless shared by the user.
FreddieMeter continues YouTube’s celebration of Queen’s music and “Bohemian Rhapsody’s” 1 billion views milestone, which coincided with the release of a newly remastered
HD version of the video
. The achievement made history with the anthem being the first pre-1990s video to reach one billion views on the platform.
In partnership with Universal Music Group and Hollywood Records, YouTube also recently launched ‘
You Are The Champions
,’ a unique campaign that gave fans an exclusive chance to become a part of Queen history with a starring role in brand-new, user-generated videos for three of the band’s most celebrated tracks - “
A Kind of Magic
,” “
Don’t Stop Me Now
” and the iconic “
Bohemian Rhapsody
.” The results were pulled from more than 10,000 submissions from more than 120 countries around the world, showing the depth and love for Queen and Freddie amongst their loyal global fanbase.

A new way to discover Google tools to grow your small business
Friday, November 8, 2019
Today hundreds of entrepreneurs will descend on the Manitoba Museum to participate in a
Grow with Google
workshop. They will be joined by Google volunteers for a day of training and one-on-one mentorship sessions with the goal of helping Winnipeg businesses take advantage of the scale and reach of the open web. Winnipeg marks our ninth Grow with Google stop in Canada, and the tenacity of Canadian entrepreneurs and small businesses to upskill and grow never ceases to amaze me.
Small businesses are the backbone of our communities and economy. They create jobs, they shape our culture, and often define what makes a city like Winnipeg unique. Google understands the important role small businesses play in Canada, but we also know the challenges these enterprises face when it comes to adapting to the digital economy.
When I talk to Canadian business owners about their priorities, they tell me they want to grow their brand and find new customers, sometimes in Canada and sometimes in countries across the globe. But I also hear about the lack of time and resources to adapt to the rapidly evolving digital economy. The Internet presents incredible opportunities, but it can be hard to know the right place to start.
That’s why I’m so pleased to announce the launch of
Google for Small Business
, a new Grow with Google initiative to help businesses across Canada find the right Google tools and services to achieve their goals. The online program is super simple: go to the website (
google.com/smallbusiness
), share a business name, answer a few questions about the business, and select a goal. The business then receives a step-by-step plan to help them stand out online, reach more customers and work more efficiently. The recommendations will include products to help with all three, but with a particular focus on the goal that’s most important for that business.
This is an easy, streamlined way for small businesses to find tailored solutions with a personalized plan to optimize efficiency and stand out online. Growth for small businesses isn’t always about more, it’s about getting things done in less time, with less complication, and less worry.
This is why we created Google for Small Business - to help small businesses thrive by providing tools and support to connect with more customers and achieve lasting success.
It’s never too early - or too late - for small businesses to learn the skills that can help them get ahead.
Get started at
google.com/smallbusiness
today.

Top tips for keeping data safe and secure on Android
Wednesday, October 30, 2019
Keeping data safe and private is a key priority for Android—and we’ve built a number of features to keep your device secure and give you control. As part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, here are a few of these features, and our top tips for staying safe on your phone.
Warding off sneaky phishing attacks
Phishing is when a bad actor (we’re talking criminal here, not someone with low-rated movies on Rotten Tomatoes) tricks you into giving them your private information. Phishing can come in the form of a convincing email that looks like it’s from a company or co-worker you know, spam phone calls, and even text messages.
Typically, these bad actors want to steal credit card numbers, social security numbers, or account login information (usually for financial gain or identity theft), but there may be other pieces of data they’re looking to steal.
Thankfully, you have three important features on your Android device that protect them from phishing:
Caller ID & Spam Protection
: This shows you when a call you’re receiving may be coming from a suspected spammer.
Safe Browsing
: This Chrome feature lets you know if you stumble across a website we know to be bad, and will help you quickly get to safety.
Phone-as-a-Security-Key
: While other forms of on-device two-factor authentication, such as SMS one-time codes and push notifications, can be phished by a remote attacker, Android's built-in security key gives you the strongest form of Google account protection.
Privacy controls you can depend on
On mobile devices, apps can access a lot of pertinent information such as contacts, web histories, location, photos, and more. This makes apps more useful—for example, helping you navigate to a desired destination in Maps—but you still want to make sure that you control who sees what.
You can choose how data is shared with apps and services through a number of different means:
Permissions
: Apps have to ask you for permission to access certain types of data, like your photos or contacts. To grant or revoke permission, head to Settings > Privacy, if you are using Android 10. For Android 9 and below, head to Settings > Apps & notifications > Advanced > App Permissions.
Location permissions
: You can tell an app that it may only access your location when you’re actually using that app, as opposed to “all the time” or “never.”
Incognito mode in Google Maps
: When you turn on Incognito mode in Maps, your Maps activity on that device, like the places you search for, won’t be saved to your Google Account and won’t be used to personalize your Maps experience.
Keeping bad apps off your device
Bad actors also use potentially harmful applications to steal information.
Google Play Protect
makes sure these applications stay off your device by automatically scanning your apps to make sure everything is safe. If you do encounter one of these bad apps, Google Play Protect will quickly alert you and instruct you on how to remove the app from your device.
You can access Google Play Protect by going to the security section of your settings. If you ever want to run a scan manually, you can prompt it to do so there. When it comes to security and privacy on Android, you’re never alone. You have both the underlying, automatic protections and the personalized control you need to keep your information safe and private. Want to learn more? Visit our
Security Center

Game on! Our first Stadia studio is coming to Montreal
Thursday, October 24, 2019
As a child, I spent countless hours playing video games with my sisters. They transported us to exciting new worlds and took us on captivating adventures. They even taught us valuable life skills—three kids and only two controllers meant we had to learn problem solving and cooperation pretty quickly!
I was also fortunate to live in Montréal, a city with an amazing gaming legacy, having launched dozens of studios, thousands of careers, and countless incredible games. Today I’m thrilled to announce our contribution to that heritage, with the creation of Google’s very first original games studio in Montréal. Stadia Games and Entertainment’s studio will produce exclusive, original content across a diverse portfolio of games in all your favorite genres. Stadia is designed to be one destination for all the ways people play games—and Montréal is where we’re going to start building them.
Just as Stadia intends to change the way games are accessed and experienced by players, we want to change the way games are made. That starts with our culture. Stadia is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace; these diverse perspectives will shape the games we create together. We’re committed to building an environment that will empower the developers who work at Stadia to create new, unique gaming experiences. (P.S. If you’re interested in joining us, check open positions on our
jobs site
.)
I’ve been making games for a while now, and wouldn’t trade the experiences I’ve had for anything. But we can do better. We can do more. At Stadia, we don’t believe in being “good enough.” We believe in being more: More ambitious. More inclusive. More accessible. More immersive. More engaging. We’re bringing that mentality to Stadia Games and Entertainment, and now with our first studio, we’re looking for the best developers on the planet to join us.
Jade Raymond, VP and Head, Stadia Games & Entertainment
