The responsibility to inform the public lies with the politicians and the news outlets. To be fair, they mostly do announce and report these decisions. I don’t think the problem is with unawareness. Sure, there are people who say “Let’s get rid of these things”, but my experience is they are in the minority (Canadian here).
I think the big problem is complacency. People just don’t do anything about it. Sometimes I wish we had more of the French culture and their willingness to riot the way they do. We should be holding our politicians to a higher standard and making them more accountable for their actions, not making excuses for them.
