We don’t usually bother with trying to win polls or prizes. It’s just not out thing. We’d rather spend our energies bringing you fake Citigroup ads or reporting on the latest ways Ace Greenberg has found to insult Jimmy Cayne.
But this morning a loyal reader directed our attention to the Globe & Mail’s poll asking “Who are your five favourite finance or investment bloggers?” (They’re Canadian, so they haven’t yet learned to spell “favorite” correctly.) A host of our own favorite blogs are listed there, as well as quite a few we’ve never heard of. But it was a bit embarrassing to discover that we’re currently ranked below Canadian Capitalist, which describes itself as a “Canadian personal finance” zzzzzzzzzz.
Sorry.
We fell asleep. Where were we? Oh, right. We’ve decided we want to win the poll. So click here and vote for DealBreaker, please. Thanks.

You should be so lucky to be huge in Calgary. Maybe you'd know what fish boy looks like then.

Run more Brian Hunter fish pictures and you may move up. He's a hometown boy.

The Kirk Report dude has you on his blog list! He's in Minnesota. Minnesota is in Canada, right? Eh, hosers?!

pending the results of this poll, I'd imagine Carney's choice of beverage this evening will be either Mcallan or old grandad...

The only place blarney would be huge at in Calgary would be the ship & anchor.

Anal_yst, Macallan. It's scotch, not irich.
Does Carney have the stomach for single malts?

just voted, you guys are now #1
Posted by JorgeCad , May 08, 2008 5:55PM
Yes #1, just voted... 315 votes and counting lads. All is right now in the G&M's pathetic stab at being with it.
(of note lads G&M is Canada's version of the NYT - just worse)
Carney may want to celebrate tonite with some of Canada's finest: Canadian Club, Wisers Deluxe, and when your line is cut - Molson Canadian.
cheers!
