# Canadian executives are slow to follow U.S. peers in setting up Web logs

Despite what some of my readers might think, [the statement in the title](http://www.canada.com/technology/story.html?id=44a4f47d-0c32-4eaf-b7b9-b2a6bc31e424) is one I know, in my heart, to be true. Canadian CEOs are far more conservative and risk-averse than their US brethern, and there is no real cult of the CEO in Canada as there is in the US.

Canadian business culture is very chummy, and probably a little older than US business culture. This means that e-mail has just become a useful tool for many Canadian CEOs. IM and Blogs? Maybe in the next generation.
