News summary features new gotcha parking ticket scheme

Adrian Ghobrial of City News assays the newly-introduced “drive-away” parking tickets by Parking Enforcement Officers. It used to be legal to drive away while the hornet was writing the ticket. Legal consensus had it that the ticket had not been properly served. But when it comes to money, the City is far more interested in making you pay than silly stuff like due process.

PC CANDIDATE RESIGNS AMID DATA THEFT ALERT

Simmer Sandhu, the PC Party candidate in Brampton, has resigned from the candidacy amid allegations pertaining to his “work life and nomination campaign.” Sandhu was employed until recently at 407 Express Toll Route, the firm that runs the toll highway. As Sandu was making his announcement, the company said it is investigating the theft of some personal information of roughly 60,000 people from its offices “some time over the past 12 months.” It said the data was limited to account names and phone numbers. No credit card or banking information was taken. Without saying anything related to this revelation, Sandhu said he “absolutely denies these allegations” and called them “totally baseless.”
