Recently I read an interesting article in eMarketer.com. The article discusses how Canada is a world leader in Internet connectivity but behind when it comes to ecommerce (buying/shopping).



The story goes on to say that this is interesting as conventional wisdom says that Internet broadband connection is an enabler of online buying because dial-up is too slow.



Canadians it seems are still very cautious to buying online. My opinion would be that we are worried about security which would seem odd since we are apparently don't have a problem when it comes to doing online banking.

Tip: If you do wish to shop online, and you are worried about security, get a dedicated credit card. Use it only for your online  purchases and keep the credit limit on it low.
