By:\u00a0Clifford Skarstedt<\/a>, Peterborough Examiner<\/p>\n

Members of the Peterborough Health Coalition were joined by a giant seven-foot-tall Care Bear on Wednesday at the Peterborough Downtown Farmers’ Market to voice their concerns about the privatization of health care in Ontario.<\/p>\n

The Care Bear stopped at the city’s Louis Street parking lot on a provincial Ontario Health Coalition tour dubbed the We Can’t Bear to Lose Medicare Tour.<\/p>\n

The protest was aimed at warning the public about the increasing use of private for profit clinics, user fees and extra billings.<\/p>\n

The Care Bear is nicknamed Tommy Douglas, after the former Saskatchewan NDP premier and CCF MP who helped father Canada’s public medicare system.<\/p>\n
