As laws around drinking in parks relax in cities across Canada, public health concerns are still being raised (Natalie Stechyson / CBC News)

Bingo! It’s all classicism. It’s easy for them to look down on people who go to parks to drink and hangout. These people often have their own private grass and outdoor space they can enjoy. I live in an apartment and have beers on a blanket in public parks because the only outdoor space I really have.

Classism isn’t just hate, it’s ignorance too. What are “normal” ways to use a park are completely different if you only ever see them briefly when you walk through them on your morning dog walk, or maybe to let your kids play on the playground after school. It will take a lot of deprogramming to change the perspective to parks being a place to be, and live life.
