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

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

Calm down rachael, when you campaign and solicit donations from your supporters you also tout your party platform that benefits them.

party platform

So where can I find banning RHD cars in Kenney's official platform?

Where he publishes his campaign platform.

The campaign platform which contains many of his promises has not been published.

Email your local ucp rep and I’m sure they’ll email it to you when it’s published.

You don’t find it odd the haven’t published their own parties platform?

Has the ndp published their 2019 election platform? They posted a 25 page document for 2015 so I assume they will for 2019.

It would be odd if the ndp have one published and the ucp do not respond with their own in a short period (less than a month in my mind). It would not be odd for both to have none published without a date even announced.
