#2> The doctors were talking about what they’d decided, and one of them was kind of joking about it, saying there’s no homicidal plot or something. They said, ‘We think Johnny just got mad at the cat because the cat scratched him.’
Sadly, that doctor will likely continue their practice.

#3Not surprising...people always slip through the cracks in Canada's healthcare system.

#4Terrible article. Canadians live 2 years longer on average than Americans. And you're telling me the US mental health system would have been more pro-active? Come on.
"Hers was Sault Ste. Marie’s sole homicide of 2013."
How many small towns in the US can you say that of?

Classic case of whataboutism. I didn't see anything discussing the quality of the US mental health system. It's a Canadian website discussing a Canadian case. It failed here and the author of the article is trying to point out where it failed. This is an attempt to prod the system to improve.

Most of them. I'm not denying Canada's is lower (about a third of the US homicide rate) but most small towns in the US can go years without any homicides.

Sadly, you will continue posting.

#8The Walrus is normally a magazine with high standards, and very good quality content, but I find the headline a little misleading or at least sensational. Canada's healthcare system is beloved, and has surely saved a far greater number of lives than it has put at risk. That said, most would prefer it be expanded and improved upon its current state.
Canada's healthcare system has long needed improvements in mental health capacities. I figure that is what they're trying to explicitly illustrate here. The result has been iterations of separate mental health institutes, leading to driving efforts like CAMH (Centre for Addiction and Mental Health) in Toronto. Sadly, many remote regions do not have ready access to these kinds of resources. The northern regions of the provinces are particularly starved for social and medical resources.
Hopefully the article will have the enlightening and impactful effect I interpret its author having intended.

Definitely agree. I saw virtually no comparison to what the US does / would do nor how America handles similar cases, etc. America was mentioned zero times in the article (0) and United States was mentioned twice in the article (2) and that was only to mention background information about the victim and her family, nothing to do with health care, mental illness, violence, or anything else to do with the editorial.

#10I was annoyed at the way the victim was portrayed. They just kept dancing around it.
