Subject: Tara has been working hard awareness of human trafficking and admire her for using her title to do this and has met Stephen Harper. What have the other Canadian titleholders been doing with their titles? It's so easy to critcize her pageant but she's got substance, which I can't say about the others.

Subject Author Date How very American of you! In Canada the pageants and directors get ripped apart but generally the girls are left alone, in the USA the girls are ripped apart unmercifully. Its great she is doing something of substance with her title but don't put down the other girls whom you don't even know or aren't privy to their causes, whom they have met, interacted or networked with, who they are spokeswomen for or what causes they are championing. No one was bashing Tara, there is no doubt in anyone's mind the pageant she attended is a joke, and good for her for turning it into something positive, but what purpose is it to be snarky about other titleholders in her defense? (NT) Christi 10:06:22 08/18/11 Thu Pardon me? The only person being snarky is yourself and no reason to be like that, especially when you misunderstood my intent. (NT) -- W, 23:41:13 08/19/11 Fri your intent was absolutely crystal clear. you put down all other canadian titleholders. 'she has substance, which is more than i can say about the other titleholders' i can read. you could have talked about her a bit without bringing 'other titeholders' into it...you dont have to put someone else down in order to make her look better. (NT) -- Christi, 13:01:59 08/20/11 Sat Oh please, you misunderstood and got all defensive about it. Please learn to read and not assume things. Now is your chance to list what the other titleholders have done since winning, if you want to act like such a smart-ass. . (NT) -- W, 20:19:20 08/20/11 Sat Dear W, welcome as a new poster but some of your messages were not approved. We have 'no fights' policy. (NT) -- Moderator, 22:33:54 08/20/11 Sat Again, clearly I did not misunderstand you were clearly putting down other titleholders 'what have the others done' implying she is the only titleholder to do anything. There is nothing to misunderstand here. Im certain if you go to each titleholders pageant page, facebook page etc you can see what they have been doing. Chelae is a little busy right now with Miss Universe and all but I believe a couple of the teen canada world girls have been to africa on mission trips, the miss canada international girl ws in india recently on a mission trip, the new girl is national spokesperson for heart and stroke foundation, miss earth canada has her environmental causes....every girl does her own work, its nice that Tara is making the most out of her title, its still pretty crappy of you to try to put her on a pedestal by putting down others. Can we just stick to bashing pageants and the directors here LOL (NT) -- Christi, 01:51:13 08/21/11 Sun Christi, you wrote in the Miss Canada Globe posting that Miss U Canada and Miss World Canada send their winners to international pageants but "not much else" during the year, so thanks, you've proven my point that I'm correct. (NT) -- W, 20:41:45 08/23/11 Tue Thanks Moderator but if you read my comment, it is clear that Christi is the one that started it. Yet she clearly writes that MUC and MWC sends their winners to international pageants but don't do much else, which proves my point exactly. I don't see why her argumentative nature is always allowed and even her comments about Miss Supratnational Canada having a baby bump is allowed. This is completely unfair and she's obviously bashing this girl. Thanks. I like your board otherwise. (NT) -- W, 21:20:47 08/23/11 Tue I didnt make a comment about Miss Supranational having a baby bump...tht was to the DIRECTOR who is like 8.5 months pregnant!!!! And Miss U C and Miss WC dont do much with thier girls...the girls do stuff on thier own, just like tara is. Again, the organizations are lacking not the delegates, insulting the delegates/titleholders is unacceptable! The girls who DO actively work wth thier titles in SPITE of thier pageant directors are to be commended, and there are only a handful of pageants in Canada nd out of those there are about 3 who actively promote and have their girls do appearances...this does not lessen the quality of the girl, only the quality of the pageant. Surely you are not defending the pageant Tara won? (NT) -- Christi, 22:41:05 08/23/11 Tue LOL, I'm sorry Christi, I see that now!!! :) I was horrified to see the baby bump comment but thanks for clarifying that, LOL. Congratulations to Michelle and wish you well as a new mom :) (NT) -- W, 21:58:42 08/24/11 Wed its cool. i speed read sometimes too and misunderstand. Please know that I support every titleholder regardless of pageant. the girls are not to blame for the organizations or directors shortcomings. They all just truly want to do their best and have a good reign, make a positive impact and do something special. Kudos to girls who do so well in spite of lameness in the organizations. (NT) -- Christi, 23:27:35 08/24/11 Wed Thanks for understanding and sorry again, Christi. It's a shame the girls get less than they bargained for with some organizations.
