No sooner had Lorna Yates hung up her shovel on Monday than she realized she was facing a chilly Catch-22.
As Torontonians burrow out from under a once-in-a-decade snowfall this week, thousands of residents who use on-street parking spaces are in a similar bind. Such is the couple’s reluctance to lose their space that when Yates’s husband had a medical appointment Tuesday morning not too far from home, after a debate about “protecting the spot,” they agreed it was better if he walked. As of Tuesday afternoon, they were contemplating calling an Uber to take the kids to a play date, and she expects her vehicle will stay put untilAs badly as she wants to keep her place, Yates doesn’t think drivers who shovel out a space have a right to it.
Tripp could often defuse the situation by confronting an angry driver while holding her baby on her hip. But since then her daughters have grown old enough to help with shovelling, and she’s given up the construction cones for a more co-operative approach. She and her neighbours went out together to clear the snow after dinner Monday night.But while she doesn’t think a parking spot is worth fighting over, she believes whoever shovels a space should have a claim to it.
This is why I hate Toronto.

isn't it public parking? there isn't calling dibs on the spots.

Their trip to Pearson airport was supposed to take half an hour.

If they live in the Annex, why didn't the kid's GF take the UP to Union Station and then subway it up? People were warned not to drive a good 12 hours before the storm hit. If you're an Anti-Traxxer who got stuck in the snow I don't feel sorry for you 1 bit.
