        Canada’s the same except we have serious parking mafia and it’s c$20.

        When my dear friend suffered a Widowmaker heart attack, and they lit up and staffed a theatre on an early holiday Sunday morning for a brace of stents, he didn’t have to sell his house to make payments for it… Because it was c$20 for parking and a bit more for some really bad coffee. Costs were borne by all of us and it was pre-paid from taxes.

        Dude survived and annoys us with his sarcasm and piss-takes to this day.
