BOOOOOO!!!!
I hear ya. But, I cant blame them. All last week, most parkades I went to were full. (I am a contractor. jumping from site to site, so a monthly pass - if you could get one - is not an option).

Most times, I ended up in the Eaton's Center Parkade. Incidentally, they have raised thier daily maximum from $20 to $25. And, it was packed full every day. In fact, it was overfull, with extra cars parked all along the sides.

If the lots are full, it stands to reason prices will go up. You cant blame the parking comany, but, perhaps the city can be blamed for having too few lots?
