Year in Review 2017: Trump is Canada's top news search of the year
From the potential threat of nuclear war to an ongoing refugee crisis, the news that Canadians have been searching for has been decidedly grim. U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to reporters before departing the White House for New York in Washington, U.S., December 2, 2017. It should come as no surprise to anyone that the U.S. President was the No. 1 most-searched for news topic of 2017.

From shuffling White House employees to his late-night tweets, U.S. president Donald Trump (No. 1) has certainly had an active year. The whole world was talking about Trump throughout 2017, likely a huge trend that will likely continue into 2018 as well.
