Subject: Miss Canada Globe Author: ECP [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:41:20 08/10/11 Wed So I just noticed that Miss Canada Globe is charging people $1 to vote for the people's choice award. I've never seen this before and frankly, it seems a bit dodgy. Anyone know why they would choose to do this? Maybe the money is going to charity...any ideas? http://www.mcgpvoting.com/miss_canada_globelist.php [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date its to make money to put in the directors pocket. none will go to charity. this is a very bad pageant run by a big scam artist and i pity anyone who gets tricked into enteriing :( (NT) Christi 22:25:04 08/10/11 Wed That's sad. There are so many awesome things happening in Canadian pageantry, but they get tainted by things like this. (NT) ECP 14:18:56 08/11/11 Thu As far as I know, they don't dontate or raise any money for charity - They say the girls ( winners) help raise money for many charities but they consider a girl showing up at walk for a cure raising money. They dont actually write a cheque to any charity like MTCW MUC MWC The pay for votes is for profit for MCG but... they are a NON PROFIT organization hahaha lol ya the only one in canada registered as a corporation use to be a sole proprietorship I think mias change it a few years ago. Sorry to Quote the they are a Non Profit PAGEANT organization which I was once explained is appartently different then a regular Non profit there are different regulations for pageants.....lol sorry dont get. There is nothing wrong in making a profit its a company people have to get paid to work, make a living but dont say you dont and pretend to be a charity ( MCG has not said they are a charity) or non profit or what ever thats just setting yourself up to be deemed a scam (NT) Michelle 02:20:25 08/12/11 Fri Legally calling themselves non-profit when they are not, is fraud. Out and out, no 2 ways about it. Not for profit, and non profit are 2 different things....and not making a profit isnt either of those things lol Different regulations for pageant? an unregulated industry? smellllllls fishy.
