If you're wondering where all the sexy people are, try hanging out at Portage and Main.
That's what online speed-dating service FastLife.ca claims in a new study crowning Winnipeg as Canada's sexiest city -- narrowly edging out Vancouver.
FastLife.ca, which calls itself the world's largest speed-dating service, based its results on the popularity of its clientele using their postal codes.

Winnipeg topped the list at a 51-per-cent ranking. Vancouver followed closely at 49 per cent, with Calgary coming in third at 48 per cent and Toronto and Edmonton tied at 46 per cent.
Montreal was second worst at 42 per cent, with Ottawa occupying the bottom slot at 40 per cent.
The rankings come from events where daters have eight minutes to "date" 10 members of the opposite sex before deciding to rate them a "yes" or "no."
The ratio of yes votes generates a user's sexiness ranking.
Women's average popularity on the service was 56 per cent nationwide, compared with just 41 per cent for men.
Other tallies show Canada's sexiest suburb is Richmond, B.C., while the country's sexiest neighbourhoods are Vancouver's Yaletown and the Yonge-Eglinton area of Toronto.
