So does this mean that every city in Canada will be able to use a different service provider?
While it would be feasible to maintain an account with several providers in different cities, it seems like a government-sponsered portal would make more sense than required accounts to be created directly on the company site. Maybe this won't be an issue since most of one's parking would be in one city; just a thought.
I think it goes without saying that I wouldn't condone "runing someone's account for fun", but in some ways this is similar to real life. It is obviously illegal to physically attack or kill someone, but it's far too easy for one person to torment another just for fun, often without any legal punishment. This also includes using one's influence to steal away potential jobs, friends, etc. I'm not sure how "real-life" slashdot is trying to be, but in this regard, I think it's closer than you might think.
While it shouldn't matter to those with authority, maybe this has something to do with the football team's 1-10 record (0-8 for the MAC). Whether the student athletes (for the football team at least) are studying or boozing, they don't seem to be playing football at the level of the rest of the MAC. And as much as I love our conference (I'm a Toledo student), not being able to compete with other MAC schools is pretty sad.
