Just so everyone knows, I know for certain that SEE Magazine dosen't fix any of the Best of Edmonton votes, a friend of mine writes for them. It would seem like a somewhat logical thing to do ($$$) but they like to leave it up to the readers. So congrats to Sinderellas (man Lauren does look yummy, me thinks I'll have to pay her a visit sometime)
the new city did stuff the ballots both years, and are pretty proud of it, it's a big talking point with a few people. just a little fun i guess to get some notoriety
