Our house has 4 vehicles betwen 3 kids and 2 adults. Jockeying vehicles to get out of the garage isn't an option so 2 go on the street.
That's life in the big city.

Dan Cooper, the son in question, is a bad temper waiting for a chance to explode and has been since he was 10 years old. This is NOT the first time he has been involved with the police.

The only thing I find unfortunate about this situation is that I didn't get to watch him get his but kicked. There was a video of the incident on facebook but his buddy's pulled it down because it made him look like the d-bag he is.

I don't have a problem if people park on the street, just don't whine when the snow isn't removed instantly after a storm, the plows have more important things to worry about than your parking stall.

Hey Ali,
Good for you. Give yourself a pat on the back, you have a driveway, that's so awesome!
You're holier than those who park on streets attitude isn't called for.

I'm not holier than thou I'm sick of the whining from guys about the snow already. It's winter we are in Canada we get snow, you are going to be inconvienced by the snow.

you can remove it with a skidsteer, truck, or a snowblower. you just can use -an atv in the city

that is why the guy here in st albert got a fine. he was on a majour road and got it stuck causing an issue with traffic, we would nit have got a fine likely, but he got very aggressive with the police, it was quite a scene

A lot more to the story than was reported... plowing next door seniors apppt... however he would actually cause damage every year and they asked him not to do it.... Then he is doing it gets stuck... gets a vehicle facing the wrong way to pull his ATV out and blocks the road and causing issues finally police are called and he gets all upset and ends up beaking off and getting called on it...

Then his family tries to make him out as a hero.... Typical St Albert BS...
