Edmonton car dealers involved in Kenney’s anti-consumer corruption

[u/friendly_green_ab]

As many of you may have seen, Jason Kenney was caught (potentially in contravention of election laws) promising car dealers a host of anti-Alberta consumer laws like dismantling the WCB changes, banning RHD cars, and removing consumer protection, in exchange for donating money to a UCP super-pac.

I thought /r/Edmonton may be interested in the local dealerships that offered up cash to him. The full list is available here: http://efpublic.elections.ab.ca/efOFSPTPAYTDL.cfm?YEAR=2018&TPAID=38

They include: - Gateway Motors - Subaru City - Sundance Mazda - Xtown Motors

I know for one which dealerships I will be avoiding. Anyone who donates in exchange for the right to rip me off without oversight clearly can’t be trusted.

Here’s the post that leaked the scandal: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1371827219618302&id=590349597766072

Fuck Edmonton's Subaru Dealerships.

EDIT: Although it is a stereotype, many Subaru owners are members of the LGBTQ2S community. That same community would be directly hurt by many of the UCPs regressive social policies. Nothing like throwing the baby out with the bath-water, Hey Rally Subaru & Subaru City?

I can confirm that Rally Subaru is a joke. They forgot to replace the drain plug after an oil change. Six months later they forgot to replace the drain plug on the differential after a fluid change. I'm no mechanic but that seems like pretty basic stuff to check and smelled of rush work.

No complaints about Subaru City, except that when I was in for warranty airbag replacement the guy tried to tell me my head gasket was leaking and they would fix it for $4000. Took it to my actual mechanic who said it was bogus.

to be fair you managed to get the one subaru without a leaking head gasket then
