The best Canadian cities have been battling it out all month on our Facebook Group. The contest comes to a close at midnight tonight but it's not too late to vote or score a prize like an Xbox or a new Nokia N97 Mini.

If the current standings hold up Montreal will shockingly come in second place. At least we're ahead of Vancouver. But with just over 12 hours to go in the contest, there's still a chance to impact the voting.
