The Inter-corporate ownership product is the most authoritative and comprehensive source of information available on corporate ownership; a unique directory of "who owns what" in Canada. It provides up-to-date information reflecting recent corporate takeovers and other substantial changes. Ultimate corporate control is determined through a careful study of holdings by corporations, the effects of options, insider holdings, convertible shares and interlocking directorships. The number of corporations that make up the hierarchy of structures totals approximately 45,000.

GlobeScan's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Monitor has been tracking the changing expectations of consumers, shareholders, employees, and opinion leaders annually since 1999. The 2009 survey encompasses 32,000 interviews across 32 countries.

The Canada West Foundation (CWF) has conducted a series of surveys called "Looking West." These surveys polled between 3200 and 4000 citizens from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba as to their opinions on western issues such as political identity, western alienation, western separatism, balance of powers, etc.

The CWF grants researchers and students permission to use the Looking West datasets for personal, research or classroom use without fee and without formal request, provided that it is properly identified as the "Canada West Foundation- University of Calgary Research Unit for the Study of Civil Society (RUSCS) Looking West 2001 Survey."
