High Adventures and Low Down Dealing: The Weekly Poll

Last Week's Poll: New Frontiers In Adventure Tourism

Last week we invited you to choose Canada's most stomach-churning, death-defying adverture tourism options. And it was obviously a tight race.

1. 14%  of our readers thought the most exciting adventure you could have in Canada was to ride a cab from the airport to downtown Halifax, AFTER telling the driver you're from Ottawa. The Halifax Taxi Marathon: we'll reserve a cab in your name for the long airport-to-Halifax taxi drive: and we'll tell the driver you're from Ottawa. 
2. 20% of our readers voted The CN Tower Edge Tour (the only real tour on the list).
3. Another 20% opted to sit in a hotel room and monitor a Research in Motion Stock Ticker.  
   

And the winners? It's a two way tie between Visiting Nunavut with a PETA Luggage Sticker, or taking the deadly Montreal Overpass Tour.

This Week's Poll: We're Going Shopping

We read this morning that Google is proposing to buy Motorola. This was extremely disappointing to us, because WE were planning to buy Motorola. On the positive side, however, this leaves us a bit of wiggle room to consider other mergers. So as ever, we're turning to our dedicated readership for advice. What company do you suggest Consilium should acquire?


1) Lululemon. So Ron doesn't have to rely on his clients to supply him with Polo Shirts anymore.

2)  The United States. Slightly used: now going cheap!

3) Ada's Diner on Bank St., so that we can get a staff discount.

4) Google. That way we get Motorola as well.

5) Amberwood Golf Course, so everybody can claim to be working on Friday afternoons with a straight face.


All right, Financial Advisers - let's advise, financially. The Consilium Poll - The Only Poll That Matters - is open!
