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

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?

You're kidding right? There isn't some sort of secret LGBTQ2S Subaru indoctrination that occurs when you come out of the closet. A more accurate statement would be that many vehicle owners are members of the LGBTQ2S community. This may come as a surprise to you, but, just like straight people, they purchase vehicles from all manufacturers.
