Cast your vote: Top Canadian business newsmaker of 2011

Ashleigh Patterson, Yahoo! Canada Finance

Flaherty or Carney? Balsille or Brochu? It was a big year for Canadian business with some of the country's top power players and policy makers jostling for headline dominance. Research in Motion and Sino-Forest both had a disastrous 2011, while Canada's big-six banks posted stellar year-end results. Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney made a splash as the new head of the Financial Stability Board, while Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty struggled with deficit-reduction promises in the face of a stagnant Canadian economy.

Which of these game changers had the biggest impact in 2011? Have your say with the Canadian Press Business Newsmaker of the Year and Business News Story of the Year polls.
