May 31 2016 - Collin Kennedy, who is a cancer patient, used expanding spray foam to disable a parking meter at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg where he gets his treatment. He says the fees are a tax on the sick. [video]

direct action

no joke when i was in hospital all the streetd around it had these and our car got towed away while i was in the ER it’s disgusting how they prey on the sick

Story Time:

We live about 3 hours away from Chicago, but when my Dad was super sick with his cancer, his oncologist recommended that he go up to a bigger hospital in the city to get a second opinion.   

He and my Mom drove for three hours and were shocked when they discovered that to park anywhere near the hospital, it would run them something like $40 per hour.   At the time, my Dad was lucky to walk more than 3-4 feet before being completely out of breath (the cancer had spread to his lungs), so he didn’t have the option of just parking a few blocks away and walking to his appointment.  Luckily, when they told the doctor about it, he had his receptionist comp his parking fees - but there are so many patients who are either too sick to fight it or just don’t know that it’s even an option.

Collin Kennedy is right - It’s a tax on the sick and it’s incredibly fucked up.
