Which is great!

Every so often I read someone talking about Reagan forcing people out of psychiatric institutions and that's not really what happened. What he did is arguably worse.
Gonna bring over an old Twitter thread about it.

🧵 🇨🇦 With $5B in federal mental health and addictions funding set to expire next year, CMHA is warning that essential services could be at risk.
A new Pollara survey finds 81% of Canadians support continued federal funding — and 75% say public funding should help keep care affordable and accessible.

Social media companies, particularly US, are to blame for the ability of this garbage to spread so quickly.
Canada should ban them as a national security risk. Yeah, I get that's unrealistic. I sure hope Gander is tight on misinformation.
And the CMHA needs to do a better job at messaging.
