Good stuff.

I prefer this one:

Which Canadian city deserves an NHL franchise - Quebec City, Hamilton, Toronto or Winnipeg? Quebec City, 53%

Has the city of Toronto already disowned the Leafs after the last few seasons????

I also like that 98% think that fighting should stay. I'd be very curious who the few were that voted against it.
