LINKS TO VICTORIA, B.C. – Hospital pay-parking revolt – Victoria developers concentrate on the boring and the almighty buck – May election raises quality of education – Ripping off tourists in Niagara Falls – Old folks at the tender mercy of mainland Chinese

Christy Clark’s green eye-shaded bookkeepers force hospital visitors to pay hefty parking fees.

Neither the Ontario nor the local Niagara government is stopping the racket.  CLICK HERE to see and read the Marketplace story.
