okay whoever thinks that canada doesn't have attractive girls is ridiculous.......being so multicultural we have one of the widest variety of beautiful women to choose from. as stated above it all comes down to the fact that interest in canadian pageants is minimal at best and few women feel they will be respected for participating in beauty pageants. for a country that is very progressive, we still have an antiquated view on pageantry. I was in mwc this past year and i found myself constantly defending my choice to participate in a pageant. Which is why we need to choose good quality queens that will represent our country well in international competition but also give a good name to pageants at home, so that the Canadian public can get behind them. Unfortunately it seems that MUC's last two choice seemed to be women they knew would be easily controlled as opposed to women like Alice and Natalie who were beautiful as well as intelligent and poised. -- Canadian Pageant Fans' HQ

I believe, that controversy started here with the statement "Born and bred Canadian". That is just ridiculous. I agree that we should not blame MUC for non-placement at Miss Universe. Remember, MUC is just one person � national director, who does not personally select a national winner, he selects candidates to participate in the pageant. The panel of Canadian judges makes a choice for the winner and they failed to make a right choice in 2004 and 2007, but there was no choice for 2008 � now you can blame MUC for poor selection of candidates in 2008.

Are you saying that Riyo Mori is a personal friend of the director? B/c she was a judge. (NT) -- --, 08:45:08 07/21/08 Mon
