I have always had a sort of thing for the women who win Miss Canada, so it was a great personal thrill to spot her in the Lobby of the Royal York Hotel during day 3 of this years Canadian Music Week. I had a couple of questions to ask Miss Canada, which managed to be tricky since her publisice seemed hell-bent on stopping me. I also caught up with Soze Brooks of Mosiac Music, that's right folks, the dude who produced the latest Mayhem Morearty Mixtape, as well as Big Jesse, founder of the super great Hip-Hop Canada website, the place that I cop all my mixtapes from. Props to Miss Canada, Soze Brooks, Big Jesse, Mayhem Morearty, My boys at BnS, Rocket, Wiff, and everyone else that has supported the K from day one. You know who you are, I'm audi 3000!! Miss Canada was a scholarship competition for young women in Canada. It was founded in Hamilton in 1946. The first broadcast of the Miss Canada pageant aired in 1963 on CBC.[1] Jim Perry hosted the pageant on CTV from 1967 until 1991. The show was popular in 1970s, with up to 5 million viewers, but declined in the 1980s, until it was cancelled.[2][3] Producers of the show cited mounting production costs, as the reason for cancellation. The last winner was Miss Canada 1992 Nicole Dunsdon from British Columbia. Winnifred Blair of Saint John, New Brunswick was proclaimed the first Miss Canada on 11 February 1923 at an earlier, unrelated competition during the Montreal Winter Carnival.[4][5] The runner-up in that event was Muriel Harper of Winnipeg, Manitoba.[6] The Miss Canada Pageant obtained the franchise for the Miss Universe Pageant in 1978, when that year's first runner-up competed internationally. From 1979 to the final contest, the winners of Miss Canada went on to compete. Miss Canada 1982, Karen Baldwin, being the only person to also win Miss Universe; a Canadian won Miss Universe a second time in 2005, but long after Miss Canada had been abolished
