CdnFox Posted April 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 14 minutes ago, Nationalist said: Agreed. I wonder how much time it would take to get directly involved... Well it depends on HOW involved. - spending some time with your riding association and such especially during candidate selection is not a lot, maybe 3 or 4 hours ish to have an impact during candidate. You usually only have to do that once every 4 years. Maybe an houror three a year to meet with or spend time with the riding or candidate to go over ideas. Policy conventions are about every two years - you can directly get involved and go there and vote and such if you want to represent yoru riding and that's obviously several days worth of time committment, but you can also just help craft poilcy to be voted on or discus what you'd like to see the vote be, and that's either several hours or a little less depending how involved you are. Election times of course can be many hours a day for weeks if you have that much time but a lot less if you don't want to - scruitineering is just for a day. It's kind of hard to say but at a guess i would say that if someone spent an average of 2 hours a month getting involved they'd have a significant impact and democracy would benefit greatly. That's 'average' of course - some months nothing some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully we have a justice system that knows right from wrong. It's just too bad it can't compel our governments to do the right thing and make things safer for the mentally ill. That largely means consigning the bulk of conservative sensibilities on the topic to the landfill. Marginalizing mental illness even farther than it is at present is....nuts.

OH... wait.... 8 minutes ago, eyeball said: Marginalizing mental illness even farther than it is at present is....nuts. Letting mentally ill people who are excessively and repeatedly violent out on the streets to kill again is even MORE nuts. You seem to have compassion for violent people with mental heath issues.

Well you'll have to ask the ndp gov't of bc - they're in charge of mental health in bc and have been for 7 years but have done nothing. You realize it's not a federal responsibility right? Harper btw actually tried to push several initiatives on mental health reform. it was a pet project of his. But - he can't tell the provinces what to do, You're complaining to the wrong party.

It's not right but there's no where to send them because no one is willing to spend the money required to properly house and care for them. You seem quite willing to spend billions throwing them in jail but that's punishment not treatment and the SC has ruled out punishment for the same reason we don't throw people in jail for cancer. Their condition is not their fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
