We’re used to this sort of scene in Toronto, where Queen’s Park has also played home to climate-change protests, education cut protests, and autism program change protests in just the past couple of months. “My health care is not the place to make your budget cuts,” one protester said on CTV. “Hands off.” It made me wonder if someone else’s health care would be considered a better place to make budget cuts. The latter are outraged at the potential of “privatization” of their health care (though no such changes have been made and people seem awfully foggy on what privatization even means). What is happening in Venezuela right now is a reminder of why this is so and why it matters.
