Quotations
1912
[Caption] MISS CANADA—"That can't make this waterway more undrinkable than it has been for many a long year."
1914
They would settle in a trice.
But Miss Canada is frigid
And Columbia [U.S.A.] is cold,
So in presence of the couple
There's an iciness untold.

1967
In the High Victorian period some cartoonists found Johnny [Canuck] too crude a figure to convey Canada's moral superiority in her quarrels with the U.S., the U.K., or the Metis of the Red River. They introduced a new symbol, Miss Canada, to stand for Canadian virtue.
