Stats - The Best City Issue

Based on last week's poll about the Best Canadian (Provincial City), Vancouver beat out Montreal as the best city by a narrow margin.  With an underwhelming amount of votes, Vancouver won after getting that crucial second vote, breaking it's tie with Montreal which finished with one vote.

I'll admit that putting polls on the blog sidebar was a long shot attempt to get some reader participation but this one makes me just a touch sad; the kind of sad that can only be cured by the mini Kit-Kat hiding on my bookcase.  Thankfully, that means I'll be all smiles again in about 2 minutes =)  See, just thinking about the chocolate is making me smile already!

While I of course voted for Vancouver, I have to be honest and admit I've only visited four (Vancouver - obviously since I live here, Victoria, Toronto, and Ottawa) out of the ten cities included in the poll.  The other six cities were Calgary, Montreal, Quebec City, Charlottetown, Halifax, and St. John's for those of you who didn't vote.

Hopefully some of you will feel under-represented by this lopsided victory that you'll actually vote next time =p  Either way, I'm glad Vancouver topped the list and can't wait to get a chance to visit the rest of the cities on the list!

  1. Hmm, working in the research industry, I don't think your results are valid :P
    But I'm happy you included Charlottetown on the list because it's existence seems to confuse people from Manitoba westward. (Birthplace of Confederation - what?)

  2. Well that's what happens when only 3 people vote in a poll! =p
