Not really. It's a personal thing. Just suprised by the fine.
My recollection is that it costs about
$3.75 per hour.
As I said, a $70 dollar penalty seems steep, and how quickly the fines grow is also a concern.
Imagine having to wait for a next payday to be able to pay it?!

For the record it was Vancouver's General Manager of Finance and Supply Chain Management who recommended a 5-7% property tax increase for 2026.
They did so in June 18, 2025 Budget Outlook report to council.

100% my fault for getting distracted and forgetting to pay, but 70 bucks?
Then $85 if not paid by Saturday?
Sheesh.
I don't get a lot of tickets, but this seems a bit steep.
Can I get off on a technicality because they spelled "Kawasaki" wrong?

And waking you up this morning on The Early Edition with something a little bit different. A mash-up of an acapella version of a song and the original.
The vocal-only version is making the rounds online and turned up in the trailer for "The Smashing Machine."
Know who it is yet?
