They are creating a new Global edition of the game Monopoly. From the site:

Quote:
Have your say in the world’s first global Monopoly!

I’m creating the world’s first global Monopoly so I want to know what your favourite cities are!

I’ve pre-selected 68 great cities for you to choose from but you can nominate any other city you want – these are known as Wildcard cities.

Vote for your top 10 cities… and keep voting every day!

The 20 pre-selected cities with the highest worldwide votes on February 29 2008 will make it onto the board. Plus, you will have from March 1 to March 9 2008 to vote on the most nominated Wildcard cities. Only the top two will make it on the board.


Lets get a few Canadian cities on the board. Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver are #'s 11-21-18 in voting right now. We need to get them into the top 20 to guarantee a spot on the board. When you look at the leader board, you'll find each top 20 city is in a colour group which matches what the colour on the board they'll be... The higher the better.

Vote Here

If you want to be a patriotic Canadian and support your national visibility, vote for our big three, then use your remaining 7 votes on each of the lowest ranking cities. You don't have to use the map to vote, you can go to the leader board and click on each city listed, which brings up the "add to my city list" link... basically the vote button.

Once you've chosen the cities you want to vote for, you click the actual "vote" button in the "my cities" list, and after registering, viola! You've hopefully bumped each of our cities up a rank.

Resister all your email accounts, vote daily and make sure all our Canadian cities get on the board!!!!

I think that our team should nominate Ottawa for Monopoly, it's our nations capitol and it's not even on the list.

It looks like Toronto fell off the list, and Ottawa hasn't made the top 20 nominies yet. Come on team get your votes in every day!

Voting has started for the wildcard spots.
You get 2 votes a day/email and there is only 2 Canadian cities in the running:

Quebec and Winnipeg :)

So that is where my votes will be going for the next 10 days.

Curently Quebec is 1st and Winnipeg 3rd :-D

Don't forget to vote every day with all your email acconts.

It looks like Canadian cities are getting pushed out of the wildcard spots.

Quebec is 4th
Winnipeg is 5th
