Dozens of protestors gathered outside the office of their local Liberal MP, in cities across Canada on Monday to call on the federal government to protect public health care.
Holy shit, from an Australian perspective this is the most fucked up dystopian shit possible, like over in aus, people who are unemployed and on government benefits (Centrelink (monthly payments), subsidised housing (usually around 59 bucks a month, but shitty quality), and Medicare (covers virtually anything aside from expensive scans and diagnostics)), would probably be living a much better life than many veterans, or would probably be slightly better than the Medicare tier you mentioned.
You Americans ought to threaten your government and healthcare sector in such a way they are terrified of not reaching your demands. This shit is what a population would have a revolution over.
Inertia is very difficult to overcome, especially with decades of active propaganda - not just from “right wing” outlets, but ALL of our media is controlled by our oligarchs, who also try to keep us too poor and tired to fight.
There are many other countries that have it even worse. Why don’t they fight? Because it’s not so easy.
I haven’t given up, mind. Many others haven’t as well. We just don’t have the momentum and support yet.
