If you’ve been on social media lately you’ve probably noticed a significant uptick in the amount of cussing online. Debates on social media can often lead to frustration, sarcasm, insults, and usually swearing in the attempt to get a point across.
A group called “Casino Days” took the time to study the many comments and posts made on Reddit in various cities across the country and it found that Canadians are a bit potty-mouthed. While the study was not scientific, it found Saskatoon was the most foul-mouthed city in Canada scoring 7.9 out of 10 on the “rudeness index,” however Regina never made the top 10 list. According to stats, approximately 58 per cent of Canadians admit to swearing frequently with the majority preferring to use the f-word. A poll in 2023 found 17 per cent said they don’t swear at all.
The list of the cities where people swear the most looks like this:
- Saskatoon
- Edmonton
- Red Deer
- Toronto
- Prince Albert
- Truro, Nova Scotia
- Fredericton, New Brunswick
- Calgary
- Winnipeg
- Montreal
While Montreal is considered a foul-mouthed city, its neighbour further on, Quebec City, and Laval tied on the list of cities whose people swear the least.
