Let's Talk.

            Across the street from Saint Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver BC. 

Let's Talk is an advertising campaign about mental health run by one of Canada's biggest telecom companies. It turns out that it is a lot of talk, and that's about it. It turns out to be that time of year when our politicians talk shit about how they're going to do something to help with mental health, but not really mean it. They don't want to actually do anything because that would mean spending money on funding more psychiatric professionals to provide that help. They would rather spend money on useless crap like harm reduction which keeps the people with issues on the street instead (actually harm reduction is almost as cheap as doing nothing). THAT gives them more shite to talk about fixing next election cycle. And Bell Canada, hell they are such crappy corporate citizens, some relatively cheap advertising gives them a lot of bang for the buck. Yes I am cynical about this whole thing.
