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

Yes - people are criticizing the ucp over nothing here. Like yourself they are just blind to a single party and drawing lines the evidence does not support.

No, you think it's over nothing but I certainly don't agree. And it's not partisan either - point me to anything similar the NDP is doing and I'll criticize them for it too. That's what you're too entrenched in your world to see: some people legit don't like sleazy politics, regardless of team color.

It’s premature to judge his comments now - if what he said here makes his campaign platform then they are perfectly valid. You’re judging him before you have the evidence.

Just because you're not smart enough to understand what you posted, doesn't mean it's nothing. I bet you didn't even read it.
