“This summit must be the moment we start treating mental health care as health care. That we clearly decide on who has responsibility to do what, and to get on with doing much more together,” he said.

Mayor John Tory calling for national summit on mental health after recent violence on Toronto streets“A lack of mental health supports undoubtedly contributes to a number of issues we are seeing in cities across the country,” Tory said in a statement. JohnTory has had 2 terms to address our city's social problems. Years & years to find new revenue, charge more for parking, add sales tax or congestion charge, stop pandering to drivers and the damn Gardiner. TO is falling apart on multiple levels and here he is in term 3. Ugh. No more consults. Get mental health workers out on the streets to help people in need. Start hiring people now. This wait and see attitude is where we are now After locking down a population for 2 years. Denying them access to loved ones, discriminating against people and recommending reporting your neighbors for non compliance, thus killing the fabric of society, you need a study to find out why people have mental health issues.
