The dealer used an SCT x4 to tune the car and ignore O2?


Wow, is that a normal thing or is that an awesome dealer?

Yes they did.  I also thought that was weird but I'll take it.

Id like to know where they got the tune from...i guess if you bought it from then they are kinda obligated to make the problem go away..they probably just disabled the rear 02 sensors...not sure where you live but if you need emissions testing you wont be aboe to ready the I/M monitors with the rear 02's off

No emissions testing where I live. 
I live in a small town of under 7000 people so they are trying their best to save face.  I'm not sure who they spoke with to get the 02's bypassed but the salesman did say that they had to contact SCT or Derive? For help with the matter.

AJP is correct to point that out....the Canadian dealer knew the vehicle had a Tune and had NO cats from the beginning but had NO choice but to purchase a Tuner to disable the rear 02 sensors in order to satisfy,validate the customer's concerns regarding a PO-420-PO-430 codes set,only in Canada.....BIG NO-NO-HERE.  Z

Is this a Ford dealer?

If so was this a CPO car?

FYI OP, Canadian environmental law follows American so they violated the law selling you this car without the manicats installed.

This also means they sold you a car that you can't sell unless it is corrected without violating the law.

If it was a Ford dealership the situation is even worse but the good news is you will be in the drivers seat on how this is handled.

I did buy the car knowing that it had an aftermarket exhaust and CAI.  The dealer also told me that the exhaust would throw a CEL, they however did not tell me that having a CEL would dis-allow me from using my remote start, so to that end I pushed for a resolution.  Their resolution was the X4.
The car was not CPO as it had the aftermarket CAI and Exhaust.  To this point I am satisfied.  I love the car and for the few issue that I have had since purchasing it I feel the the dealer has handled myself and the situation well.
