Veteran plates
 

For those who have served or currently serving the Canadian forces. Hamilton and a few other cities are piloting a program for those with veteran plates can park for free on city roads. I am currently serving, so I wanted to give it a shot. And yeah it works :)

I hope this goes beyond than just a few cities! :) especially Toronto. That would be amazing!

Dang, knew I should have got vet plates instead of a normal vanity plate.

It applies to Calgary as well

Started here I believe.

I've had Vet plates for years and get screwed everytime. Even when I was standing right there saying "Im leaving" the idiot still gave me the ticket. That shit doesnt work in Toronto. Immigrants are flooding this city and fukin everyone over including combat vets. He barely even spoke English. After handing me the ticket he told me I could fight it in court. (**** move) I told him to gear up and go fight in Afghanistan like I once did.
These ***s are out here giving tickets to veterans who've sacrificed more than you can imagine.... Come back home and get treated like a bag of dirt!!! Way to go Canada....

Thank you for your service, but cut the fucking xenophobic bullshit. You're embarrassing your self.

Perfect!
Serving and a sense of entitlement because of it doesn't work in my world.
Veteran plates do not exempt people from the law so if Toronto doesn't have the program then a ticket is warranted.
I have zero use for veterans that feel they are "owed" something for serving.

Its got nothing to do with Canada or immigrants, its the TorontoLoonyLeft city gov't collecting TAXES, to pay for the down trodden masses of non workers !

I served because I'm Canadian and love my country not for a sense of entitlement. Any soldier who has served in combat shoud be allowed free parking on any public road in Canada. I understand the law is the law, but going out of your way to be a **** and handing out tickets while you could have easily diverted bothers me. Allowing people who lack in Canadian culture and barely speak a word of English to become parking enforcement officers also bothers me. We're not asking to get away with speedig tickets or crime... we're asking for free parking. Its not alot to ask when you've risked your life in combat everyday for 365 days

Sounds like you need some more tickets.

First of all, if you want free parking then I suggest you write to city council and pursue the matter with VAC.

Second, he didn't go out of his way to be a ****. He was literally just doing his job.

Third, what in the fuck is Canadian values? White European culture? Because I assure you it is not. Canada has been and always will be a nation of immigrants in a mosaic/melting pot.

Do you know why immigrants get shit jobs like parking enforcement and other menial job? Because certain white people think it's beneath them and are too entitled to work them.

Everything you've posted screams entitlement.

Vet plates = free parking.... not alot of entitlement to ask for

It's not, and honestly I think that's a great idea, but the simple fact remains It's not a law as of yet so shitting on the guy for giving you a ticket and expecting to be above the law is textbook entitlement.

Receiving special consideration for service is a wonderful thing. Expecting and demanding it is a douche move. Nobody forced you to serve.
You were also supposed to be serving for everybody which includes those that immigrated here that you appear to feel entitled to shit on for doing their job.
It is crap like this that has discouraged me from getting veteran plates.

This should be deleted except for the first couple of posts.
