Language Barriers Leaving Restaurants Out Thank you so much for publishing your Best Restaurants 2023 issue [March/April 2023]. I’m always excited to read it and it helps me discover new and different restaurants, especially with cuisines that I may not be as familiar with. That being said, I feel that some restaurants are not being represented. I am Canadian-Chinese. I grew up in Calgary and English is my first language. I’ve noticed that some great Chinese restaurants (such as Marco’s Kitchen and Eastern Fortune) are missed every year, perhaps because English isn’t the first language of many authentic ethnic restaurants, nor their clientele, and thus they may not be aware of such lists or how to contribute. I believe that some restaurants are absent from the issue because some ethnicities value different things. For example: Chinese restaurants value passionate family talk at the table, which may affect how they are judged in regard to ambience. I also passed the list to my Korean friends, who noticed that many of their favourite restaurants are also not mentioned, restaurants such as Gogi Korean BBQ, Manna, Namsan, Han Corea, Kiwa, Jjamppong and San Dong Banjeom. I have no affiliation to any of these restaurants, but just feel the need to point out how some amazing and authentic restaurants may be missed in a Best Restaurants issue. —Angie Hung

Spinning Our Wheels The article by Jessica Barrett about Calgary Transit was right on [“Stops and Starts,” March/April 2023]. I was a rider of Calgary Transit for well over 15 years and it was a constant struggle to get around. This is a case of “if you build it they will come,” however, that would take leadership based on what riders want and demand: safe, clean, affordable transit that comes every 10 minutes, not only for the CTrain but bus commuter routes as well. This fix would require a large sum of money that I don’t think the people of Calgary are willing to pay. —David Wood
