Manitoba PC Car Rental Scandal Clears | Winnipeg News

Manitoba’s Progressive Conservatives faced a bizarre scandal over a $3,800 car rental invoice from a company that also offered “intimacy coaching” — but the elections commissioner cleared them, finding the expense legitimate and tied to campaign logistics. The party rented an SUV privately through the wife of the company owner to bypass driver restrictions, using it for 21 events over 50 days. After staff raised concerns, they requested a new invoice under the wife’s name — a move the commissioner deemed reasonable, not suspicious. Volunteer drivers confirmed the car’s campaign use, and the commissioner concluded the staffer’s alarm was based on incomplete info. The PCs’ explanation held up, and the investigation ended with a clean bill of health. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
