Coun. Shawn Menard has asked city of Ottawa staff to examine a 'sliding scale for parking fines that is geared to income, or other potential proxies for ability to pay.'

An Ottawa councillor is asking the city to explore imposing fines for parking tickets based on the driver's income or the value of the vehicle.

"Other jurisdictions have addressed this inherent inequality through introducing a system of fines geared to income." Ottawa Bylaw officers issued 298,918 parking tickets in 2023. A report for the emergency and protective services committee shows officers issued 37,652 tickets for parking in excess of posted time limits and 35,378 tickets for illegally parking on private property.

For their protection, immigrants critical of China and India call for speedy passage of Canada's foreign interference legislation Trevor Hosie, 36, told the court he didn’t know the marijuana he consumed on May 6, 2023 was laced with a potent opioid. 'Sadly, this tragedy is the predictable outcome of the series of decisions made by Mr. Hosie on May 6, 2023,' Justice Christopher Uwagboe wrote in his sentence decision.
