Angela Caputo has been a disgrace for as long as I have known her. Back in school she was arrogant and conceited, and she bullied people just because she could. I have friends who still remember being targeted by her in elementary school, and the scars from that never went away. She has always been a mean spirited bully who thinks she is better than everyone else.
Her business record is as pathetic as her character. She ran Smack Daddy’s into the ground even though it was already established. Bossy’s was an out of touch sexist embarrassment that collapsed almost immediately. And The Breakfast Pig? Overpriced stale food that she tries to pass off as special when it is nothing but the cheapest and simplest food in existence. Eggs, toast, bacon, and she still cannot get it right.
I know this firsthand because I worked with her. While the kitchen was drowning in orders, she would be out front chatting with customers like she was some kind of celebrity. Meanwhile it was her food sitting in the window getting cold, clogging up the line and delaying meals for every other table in the restaurant. I would be hustling to keep things moving, and instead of owning up to the disaster she caused, she would scold me like it was my fault. That is who Angela is: lazy, careless, and always ready to dump blame on everyone else while she plays queen bee.
Then came COVID. While the world was terrified, families were grieving, and people were sacrificing for the good of the community, she was crying about her business and demanding special treatment. If your restaurant cannot survive six months of shutdown, you are not an entrepreneur, you are a fraud. Real leaders adapt and protect people. Angela showed that she does not care about this city or the people in it, only her own pocketbook.
And now somehow she sits on city council. A councillor who cannot even manage toast and eggs thinks she can represent an entire city. She has no respect, no integrity, and no ability to lead. She is arrogant, selfish, a bully, a bigot, and an embarrassment.
Angela Caputo is not just a failure. She is toxic, dishonest, and unfit for any position of power. She needs to resign, shut her mouth, and be remembered for exactly what she is: a washed up hack who could not run a kitchen, could not run a business, and sure as hell cannot run a city.
I sincerely urge the Canadian government to recognize Prince Reza Pahlavi as the leader of the transition against the brutal and terrorist forces of the Islamic Republic. Let’s not let the blood of innocent people go to waste—help us seek justice. My mother lives there with the rest of my family, my cousins, and all of my friends. I am worried every day if today I'm going to hear some bad news about my friends and family or if I'm not going to be able to see them ever again. I haven't seen my family and mother for over 10 years now and I simply just wanna be able to see my mother again before it's too late!
As an Iranian, I ask the Government of Canada to recognize Reza Pahlavi as the leader of our opposition against the brutal Islamic regime that has taken 90 million Iranians hostage, including exiles like me. He understands our demands and gives you our voice. We will not be ignored and we will not stay silent. Tens of thousands of young, innocent lives have been lost—just in recent months. Silence in the face of one of the most barbaric genocides of this century is not an option.

I’ve grown up around indigenous communities all my life. They are engrained in the fabric of this country and this land has always been and always will be theirs. The basis of Canada was to be a mosaic of culture for people around the world to come here and be safe and happy. Instead I am seeing fear and hatred. This is not what Canada is supposed to be, we should be looking to the future while remembering and reconciling with our past. Danielle Smith is destroying that and we as Albertans and as Canadians will not stand for it.
Bring a woman of colour I experience discrimination on a regular basis. With this federal election that recently took place, it has brought out a lot of racist individuals. Danielle’s voice also seems to give these people a “valid” reason to discriminate more. I have even being receiving actual threats that threaten my life and my children’s because of die hard conservatives.
I also have a strong belief system in support of indigenous peoples.
My father was Indigenous as well as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. He would weep if he knew Alberta is heading in this direction. His ancestors were here before the Europeans knew how to navigate to come here. They lived, walked, hunted and died here. There are treaties that have been signed and are binding. Canadas veterans fought and died in order to keep Canada whole. How dare people think that this can be broken.
