Lightbulb Mercedes-Benz Canada honouring Covid-19 workers

Saw a post on twitter requested by user to honour all heros like doctors, nurses etc that are risking their lives to fight Coronavirus.
As we all seen so many doctors died trying to save lives. We should like & retweet Mercedes should do something for those real heros.

Last time I checked their is no response from Benz yet.

Doctors already get preferential rates on financing from MB-Canada.
Lawyers, dentists, and architects too.

Our local MB dealer is closed but will make arrangements for any front line Covid 19 worker to get their vehicle serviced etc.

Let's not compare Frontline doctors fighting Covid-19 with lawyers, dentists or architects.

Also, Frontline workers don't just include doctors, but nurses & other support workers, do you have any idea how many of them got covid-19 while treating patients & many have given their lives.

Currently, they are risking way more than troops on our borders..."Support our troop".
They have been asked to stay away from their families.

So to sum up, Frontline healthcare workers are not just doctors.
And surely Lawyers, dentists, and architects... don't provide any contribution as frontline Covid-19 staff.
Most of us are happy collecting $2000 checks, sitting at home watching Netflix instead risking their lives.
If God forbidden if you & your family gets Covid-19, these are the people who will come to your rescue, not lawyers, dentists, and architects.
Meanwhile, I can tell you, nurses or nurse aids don't make that much money.

I saw news that GM, Ford, BMW etc all started offering vehicles at invoice price for them. So thought maybe Benz at least do that much for these guys.

Easy there, Tiger. I'm just letting you know what program MB-Cda already has in place. I'm not discounting the contribution made by an actual front-line worker. And if you want to get petty, buying a car just might be one of the last things on the mind of a front-line worker, so knowing how greedy Mercedes dealerships are, don't expect anything from them. They don't need the PR that other Value Brands require which come down to the equivalent of "Thoughts & Prayers".
By the way, I just checked BMW.ca, and they have no officail news or promotions regarding this so it may be a specific dealer trying to cash in on the situation to promote sales.
