Inaccurate, unsourced statement.[edit]

"dubbed a radical in the media" No citation, and false statement. He was overtly left-leaning, not "radical", and liked to cycle, rather than be driven around in a limo. "Radical" implies "angry" and "extreme", and he was an upbeat mayor. This whole article is not NPOV, and has many unsourced statements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.147.119.6 (talk) 17:48, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

John Sewell[edit]

Have just heard John Sewell’s excellent discussion of police problems on the Sunday Edition. It’s marvellous to hear such an informed discussion of this extremely important issue.

I was a psychiatrist/psychotherapist for 50 years and witnessed the harm done to people by routinely giving them toxic drugs instead of humane understanding. I think that this may be the primary cause of the unrecognized pandemic of mental illnesses and addictions that we see today. I haven’t been able to find people in Canada to publicize this and am now turning to American publications, but would value Canadian support. A huge problem for police is our terrible mental health system 😱 I’d be happy to send you a report I gave to the Canadian Psychiatric Association describing the research on this. Of course they wouldn’t listen! Huge profits are made drugging people forever.
