Some believe there’s an unwritten rule that a spot belongs to whoever clears it, while others argue once a space is snow-free it’s fair game for anyone. thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…
While the issue has been known to spark confrontations between storm-addled neighbours, the city confirmed that on-street spaces are first-come, first-serve, and municipal officials are calling for neighbourly co-operation to help keep the parking peace.

“We’re so proud of the job that we got it dug out, that we now are paralyzed because we cannot afford to lose the spot,” said resident Lorna Yates.
“We are terrified to move it, so we are not moving the car."

“I think if somebody digs it out, they should have that spot. Or you should be willing to help with them digging out (a new one),” said resident Jen Tripp, adding she doesn't think a parking spot is worth fighting over. thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…
