In the Herald blurb:

There were 300 respondents in nine Canadian cities: Calgary, Edmonton, Hamilton, Montreal, Ottawa, Regina, Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg, with the results weighted to represent each city’s population.
So a Toronto vote would be weighted 6 times a Calgary vote and 18 times a Regina vote.

The Riders, and to a lesser extent Jets must with 10% of the population of Toronto, obviously have made a bigger impression outside of Winnipeg.

The weighting also explains how the Canucks were ranked higher that the Flames in any category
