I just finished the compilation of votes for "best question" at the
2004 VETO, using the Single Transferable Vote system.

And the winner is:  Social Credit.

Just kidding!

There were 5 ballots, by these players:
Matt (UWO alumni)
Ben (Ottawa)
Brock (B2B)
Andy (Athenian TRASHedies)
Daniel (NTC)

The number of questions on a single ballot ranged from 2 to 40.

We count first choices, then add votes for second choices, third
choices, etc., until the number of votes for some question adds up
to a majority of the ballots cast (that is, at least 3), at which
point that question is declared the winner.

First choices:
Canadian Indie Rock (UWO)     1
Sheet music (Ottawa)          1
Lady Bracknell (B2B)          1
Dutch (Ottawa)                1
Edward II (Junta)             1

No majority, so add second choices:
Sheet music (Ottawa)          2
Canadian Indie Rock (UWO)     1
Lady Bracknell (B2B)          1
Dutch (Ottawa)                1
Edward II (Junta)             1
Canadian time zones (Junta)   1
Arthur Currie (NTC)           1
Spices (Zhan)                 1
Bruce LaBruce (B2B)           1

Still no majority, so add third choices:
Canadian Indie Rock (UWO)     3
Sheet music (Ottawa)          2
Lady Bracknell (B2B)          1
Dutch (Ottawa)                1
Edward II (Junta)             1
Canadian time zones (Junta)   1
Arthur Currie (NTC)           1
Spices (Zhan)                 1
Bruce LaBruce (B2B)           1
Stargate bonus (Junta)        1

We have a winner!  This question was in the UWO alumni packet:

A bonus on something that would never be in an American tournament:
Canadian indie rock!  Identify the contemporary indie artist from
clues FTPE:

Led by Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning, and frequently numbering more
than 10 members, this Toronto-based musical collective released You
Forgot it in People in 2002 and is the best live act in Canada.
Answer: BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE

Essentially the project of one man, Joel Gibb, this Toronto-based
"band" is notable for their explicit lyrics about sex and
homosexuality despite having somewhat of a gospel sound.  2003's The
Smell of Our Own met with much critical acclaim, and their upcoming
album has the amazing title of Mississauga Goddam.
Answer: The HIDDEN CAMERAS

Named after an obscure Japanese documentary about a biker gang, this
band is based in Montreal and is one of the most prominent groups in
what is often called the "post-rock" movement.  Their most
recent album, Yanqui U.X.O., includes a diagram showing the links
between the four major record companies and the military-industrial
complex.
Answer: GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR!
