An Ontario politician running for re-election has apologized after a picture of a campaign vehicle double-parked in both a designated wheelchair and baby stroller parking spot was posted on social media.

An SUV trumpeting the campaign of Tito-Dante Marimpietri, an Oshawa Regional and City Councillor seeking re-election this month, was spotted in a parking lot in Oshawa on the weekend.

“Apparently being a politician or working for one, means you don’t have to adhere to regular driving or parking practices,” wrote Kris Toth, who posted the picture on Facebook Sunday, with a link to Marimpietri’s page.

Toth was with a friend in the Canadian Superstore on Gibb Street when they spotted the vehicle.

“For lack of a better way of saying this, I’m one of those A-holes who will post pictures of other A-holes when they park like A-holes,” she told the Post.“Only this time … the vehicle was a walking billboard.”

Toth also called and emailed the Marimpietri campaign to complain.
