Facebook has confirmed that Canadians may have a bit of an inferiority complex.

Canadian Facebook users spent more time in 2011 asking their friends to "lms" (like my status) than talking about any other topic, the social media company said.

The second most talked about topic for Canadian Facebook users was the death of Jack Layton.

Facebook revealed the information in their annual year-end Memology list, which the company has released every year since 2009 to help users understand the site's most popular status updates, cultural trends and the latest in online lingo.

The top ten topics in Canada:

  1. lms (like my status)
  2. Jack Layton
  3. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
  4. Death of Osama bin Laden
  5. Charlie Sheen
