Capitalism, baby.
Business owner wants to bestow certain perks to a particular demographic that does not violate charter of rights? His business decision. He either blunders or profits from it.
You guys keep yammering on about how it's okay to categorize someone based on the brand of automobile they drive. That to me is pretty shallow. Especially if you start condoning vandalism (or even wishing personal inconvenience).
Personally, the hybrid-only parking stall sounds like a bit of a fad. It'll probably die out soon enough.

You are dodging the question and just keeping circling it with your BS. There is no corelation between the way the Flames sell tickets and parking. For the Flames tickets, if you want a better seat, you pay a premium. For parking at the game, everyone pays the same $12. If the Flames started saying everyone pays $12, but we are designating all the good spots to those people who make $100K or more there would be a 200 page thread on here and the Alberta Government would likely be involved within a day.
If you believe that these hbyrid spots are perfectly fine, than you also believe what I stated above is fine, it would be alright for people who have more income to have better access to healthcare, etc. If don't, you are a 100% pure hypocrite, and in true calgary puck fashion, are just arguing for the sake of arguing.
