Cuisine Sante International wasted my time and darkened the reputation of a heritage festival Edmonton, Alberta

8th of Oct, 2011 by User583678

Heritage festival is a reputable event when immigrants and Canadians unite in their heritage pride. They unfortunately would not allow animals at this event, but they would allow "telemarketing" scammers. "Lottery" is being drawn for a prize of a "free dinner" and "healthy cooking" lesson. Positives:
free meal without a food poisoning
enhanced knowledge about innovative cookware
charismatic nonlicensed chef's cookshow and spanish music Negatives:
3 hours out of your life
pushy sales maneuvre at the end of the show one is being forced to become "ungreatful" for a dinner and have to say NO or come up with fake excuses just to get out of there-SOMETHING THAT IS SO NOT IN A CANADIAN CULTURE TO DO, SOMETHING THAT MAKES ANY INTELLIGENT AND POLITE PERSON SICK TO THEIR STOMACH
overall- a lesson to city of Edmonton, organizers of Heritage Festival of 2011, and to me, of course!

I also experienced the same experience at a BABY SHOW in Toronto. Had I known they would be selling products I never would have given that company my information. When they call they dont mention that you are going to be the audience to a sales persons pitch. Salesmen that are called "chefs" to make it seem less like you are being sold a product. They are very good at scamming you into bringing cookware home with you but BEWARE once you sign you will NOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES get your money back.
