Motorcycle Got Ticket And Towed

I parked my bike on College and Bay, outside 777 Bay Street at 3:15pm. Went into Services Ontario to upgrade my M1 licence to M2. Got out of there at 4:45 and my bike was gone. Then I noticed a sign that said there was no parking between certain hours. Rang the towing company and they said it had been towed. I went to Bartley Road to get it. I had to pay a charge of 192 dollars to get the bike back. Then the guy hands me a ticket for a 150 dollars fine and says it was on the bike and I have to pay that too. This is the first (and hopefully last) time I've been ticketed or towed. Is this normal?

If you park illegally in Toronto on any major street during rush hour it is almost certain.

The article says if the owner has 3 or more unpaid parking tickets then their vehicle will be towed. The ticket that was put on the bike before it was towed is the first ticket I've had.
