It's a huge issue that remote communities have ample police presence but a lack of healthcare, or anything else for that matter. Shows where the government puts its priorities.

The difference is that RCMP sends people to remote communities as an obligation to becoming part of the service and unless you want the government to force social services students to serve in these communities for a certain amount of time after graduation, then they can't do anything about it.
If you're thinking of calling the police over a mental health crisis, you can save a lot of time by just shooting the person and your dog yourself instead.
Police deal with thousands of mental health crises every day without issue, but sure, go ahead and try dealing with the violently mentally ill person yourself.
I do. I don't call police. Thanks for replying to that post I deleted over a day ago to clear that up.
The one that’s still clearly visible and gives no indication of having been deleted? You’re welcome. If you have the option not to call police, great. They should not be the first call. Some areas and people don’t have a choice, and the idea that they’re as good as murdering their loved ones for calling police is ridiculous and mean.
