Roque the Vote
The nominations for the Canadian Blog Awards are now closed and now it’s up to you to vote for your favorites. A few of our authors are up for awards along with some of our loyal readers including the king and la reine du/of Montreal bloggers. Usually I would urge you to vote for the best quality blogs, but screw it, this is going to be a popularity contest, so we might was well vote accordingly (read “local”). You are allowed one vote per day, so everyone gets a maximum of seven votes in each category. So you have the chance to vote for different blogs if you like. The top five in each category move on to the next round. Voting starts tomorrow and runs until next Wednesday. Here is an incomplete list of locals and my favorites for the awards. Please chime in if you know of some other locals.
