Canmore Pride asked Valbella Gourmet Foods in Canmore, Alta., shown here, if it would sponsor or make food donations to a Pride event and received a response from one of the owners, Jeff von Rotz, containing a series of conspiracy-laden, transphobic and homophobic insults.A prominent gourmet food supplier, caterer and retailer in Canmore, Alta., has removed one of its owners from running the company after he sent a transphobic email to organizers of that town's Pride events.

The email, signed by owner Jeff von Rotz, repeated untruths about trans people as dangerous to children and perpetrators of violence. Owner Chantal von Rotz apologized for the email and said the person who wrote the email has been removed from the company and is no longer responsible for its operations.

Following the recent communications that were made public within the Bow Valley community and Valbella Gourmet Foods today, Banff Centre has chosen to remove all Valbella products from company operations and will seize any business relations.Social media users went through the list of businesses Valbella supplies and called on them to stop buying from the business.

God said to cast down the infidels the sinners... Didn't he

MattWalshBlog thoughts?

They are very supportive of the honkies.

PR people trying to mitigate the damage. He is an owner and family member for Pete’s sake. He ain’t going anywhere. You made your bed now lie in it.

It’s a family business. How do you remove a son and brother?

I support Valbella Gourmet Foods.

I’m sure they’re all transphobia. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Nfbd

This is also a very valid response!

A simple reply of no, or not at thus time would've sufficed.

Sure An owner is 'fired'

Slow news day?

On today's news: More hurt feelings

National News Story? This is the kind of speech enforcement CBC engages in so that particular topics can never be discussed. Real world effects:

The word 'Rotz' in German means 'snot' in English. Fitting.

Very happy to hear that this blew up. I was disgusted and saddened when I saw this. Such ignorance and hate has no place in society.

So what if he just said sorry our company doesn’t support your believes would that be ok

Removed an owner? Sure they did. More likely he’s been told to lie low, until this blows over.

Who cares

And they ask why we still need pride 😓

MaxKingsleyEh Can't fire an owner. This whole family is rotten.

Too late. When you say it out loud, people notice. Duh. 🤡

The alphabet cult strikes again....how dare anyone think differently. All must believe as the cult demands...their flag, their science, their beliefs, their way only or else. No freedom of thought or speech allowed if it speaks against the cult.

One may have one's personal beliefs and both sides have them. Problem is when one is rude or treats a person less then human or with respect, or force their ideology on the other

One of it OWNERS! Hmm the PR re-branding begins .

Gourmet food supplier serves hate; customers serve consequences. Now that's freedom.

Too late.

It’s funny how rejection of the ideology = “harm”. It’s also double funny how being vocal about disagreement (rude or not) often results in your life being ruined. There are many similar examples of this in history. They didn’t end well.

Previously supporting the Convoy Occupation...

That wasn't just transphobic, that was hate speech.

He still owns and directs it. All window dressing. Boycott them.

Oh pretty sure this jackass doesn’t own much this morning. The founders of the company - Mom & Dad - must be so proud of what junior did to the business overnight.

“Transphobic”

dianemariereid '... CLAIMS IT has removed one of its owners ...' Fixed it for you.

You have to be SO careful will what you say these days…so much can be taken out of context.

The email: 'men can't get pregnant'

Funny how there is an outbreak of monkeypox just after pride month…wonder why that is 🧐

Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.

He may continue to profit from the company given that he is an owner.

what kind of “gourmet” food?

Alberta gourmet business fires owner after sending transphobic email | CBC NewsThe email repeated untruths of trans people as dangerous to children and perpetrators of violence but in reality it is trans people who are in danger of being on the receiving end of violence and abuse, a Canmore Pride co-chair said. Guy has a point though… let’s all remember for a second. The LGB wants separation from the TQ+ in many many cases. There are very valid reasons for this. Jeff, your opinion is not wrong. Being so open about it is wrong. Cancel culture. I’ll be sure to support your business. I guess you really need to ask yourself if there are those on either side where accusations are true. The concerns whether trans people groom children. Can these groups guarantee it never happens. How do you “fire” an owner?
