Terry Tibbs
A plan, a plan, do you believe?
Is it me? Am I the only one hearing generalities, but no specifics?
We have to note, just the other day, both Scheer and Trudeau promised big bucks in transfers for health care. So would it be prudent to assume "business as usual" in the health care file until the money fairy stops by? If the money fairy stops by?
We must remember too, you need a referral from a GP (typically your family doctor) to see a mental health professional. So maybe the first order of business would be addressing the shortage of GPs?
Whatever rabbit Mr Higgs pulls out of his hat, rebuilding a very broken system will take time and money.



David Raymond Amos
Reply to @Terry Tibbs: Its all just talk Higgs and his cohorts have yet to provide me with a Health Care Card However 11 years ago the liberals had no problem whatsoever squandering precious health care resources by falsely imprisoning a political opponent in a mental ward for the benefit of the conservative buddies Greg Thompson and Carl Urquhart. Methinks the truly funny part of it all is that the shrinks never got paid for their malicious services and now they try hard to pretend it never happened and don't know who I am even though they know I have the RCMP's documents with the doctor's signature N'esy Pas?


Lewis Taylor
Reply to @David Raymond Amos:
things are really messed up in your alternative universe. If you were placed in a mental facility then it was most certainly for just cause. This is not done randomly. Furthermore, the physicians who attempted to treat you were certainly paid by Medicare and if you think doctors remember every single patient and document they may have signed while on call or otherwise then i would suggest that you treatment was unsuccessful.

Reply to @Lewis Taylor: Dream on trust that Carl Urquhart and seven car loads of cops tried the same trick again on election night 201 and it backfired bigtime on them that time.Methinks you should checkout YouTube sometime before you call me a liar N'esy Pas?

ANY "credible" professional keeps, besides computer records, a handwritten daily log.

David Raymond Amos 
Reply to @Terry Tibbs: Much to Taylor's chagrin I have the signed document by the shrinks and the cops


Lewis Taylor
Reply to @Terry Tibbs:
agreed but then again why would they allow themselves to be harassed by Amos the same way we are on this site? The probably told him they don't remember to get rid of him. I wish we could do the same!



David Raymond Amos 
Reply to @Lewis Taylor: Methinks that is more libel because I have NEVER harassed ANYONE Hence you have no proof of it. However I do have proof of my false arrest in writing signed by a doctor employed by the government of New Brunswick and video of a member of the RCMP admitting to his assault on me in the DECH. More importantly we have your published comments today so that brings the matter up to date N'esy Pas?

Marijuana is only going to make it worse. If we can't ban this dangerous drug, can we at least rename it 'Marijuana NB' instead of Cannabis NB. Why sanitize this seedy habit.


Mike Connors
Reply to @Jebidoah Shylah: You have got to be kidding. Cannabis is the only thing keeping some soldiers alive that are suffering from PTSD because we sent them to foreign countries to be shot at and see body parts all over the place. We have seen the tragic results when this has been taken away from them, so please educate yourself BEFORE you speak next time.

Reply to @Jebidoah Shylah: Great idea “Jebidoah”. While we’re at it, let’s rebrand “NBLiquor” to “Ethanol NB”, and every gas station that sells cigarettes as “Nicotine NB”, since neither of those make sense either and follow your ridiculous model.



David Raymond Amos 
Reply to @Marguerite Deschamps: Methinks you should pull my old files from the dockets of many courts on both sides of the medicine line and look for some new ones too. Trust that you are about to be mentioned in at least one lawsuit and you all knowing SANB dudes are well aware of the many reasons why N'esy Pas?

As if the elusive Higgs boson cares.


Ian Scott
Reply to @Marguerite Deschamps: Is that what you got from this? Maybe move the idiotic mental health center in Campbelton to where it can be operated properly instead of usual Liberal politics of the MLA's in north.He at lest has acknowledged the problem more than any one in last 4 years.And homeless issue blends right in.


Marguerite Deschamps 
Reply to @Ian Scott: Ever since and before Confederation, all the wealth has been transferred down south. It's about time that the north gets its fair share. The comedian turned deputy Premier is not too talkative since he won his Northeast riding. They gave him the title just to mute him. He has always been droll, but not in the sense of comical.


David Raymond Amos 
Reply to @Marguerite Deschamps: Why should the ringmaster at the circus care what a clueless SANB dude thinks about anything particularly in light of the fact that you still won'r admit that your light of love Lou is a lady no matter how many times I tell you N'esy Pas?















Doug James
The policies of this province help cause mental illness. And now it is telling us it is going to help solve the problem? Just look at the overall healthcare system that is focused on treatment rather than prevention and you'll understand just how impossible that will be.


David Raymond Amos
Reply to @Doug James: Cry me a river
















Donald Smith
Wow Mr. Higgs, province needs to focus more on mental health care, yet another Media source has a front page news story today, Province Needs More Psychiatrists Doctor says. If so, why don't we have them, its either we Can't Afford Them, or we don't want to hire them, am I seeing this wrong ??


Lewis Taylor
Reply to @Donald Smith:
Recrutement is a farce in NB...there are no billing numbers available where they are needed. Simple fix but politicians pay lip service and do nothing.



David Raymond Amos
Reply to @Lewis Taylor: Yea right you should know 
 

Lewis Taylor
Reply to @David Raymond Amos:
obviously



David Raymond Amos 
Reply to @Lewis Taylor: The real question is who is your lawyer and does he or she know of your malice towards me?
















June Arnott
They will cut other services to help with the overdue Mental Healthcare. It is so sad that they made cuts to MH decades ago. But hey, at least the politicians still get their perks and raises!!


Terry Tibbs
Reply to @June Arnott:
Hard to say. Both major applicants for the top federal job have promised a visit from the health care money fairy if elected. So it might be prudent to think that is the source of all the new found health care spending that Mr Higgs is promising. I suspect we shall have to wait and see...........
There is going to be a bit of a jackpot if regional government comes to pass, though I suspect that payday has been spoken for elsewhere.



David Raymond Amos
Reply to @Terry Tibbs: FYI I have yet to get my Health Care card


Terry Tibbs
Reply to @David Raymond Amos:
If you are like me you don't need one because you don't get sick.



David Raymond Amos
Reply to @Terry Tibbs: I don't go to see the sawbones until I heard the Grim Reaper knocking at my door. Whereas I have no Medicare Card I paid a doctor to have look at me and he sent me straight to the emergency room I have there twice this month and have been scheduled for a raft of test for my old ticker. Heath Care card or not I am entitled to the same service every other Canadian Citizen receives. Now that I am a running for a seat in Parliament again methinks you can bet dimes to dollars that I will be raising a lot of hell about this N'esy Pas?















Jebidoah Shylah
Indeed those suffering from mental health problems need more help so they can become productive members of society. If someone has a broken leg, we don't write them off for life, we fix the leg. Why do people not understand that mental health is the same as any part of the body, fixable. When placed under immense stress and strain, it too can break and because it's the hard rive of the body, it's essential we have the best treatment for it. We also need to ban marijuana and make sure New Brunswick is a drug free zone so that fewer people end up with mental health issues that marijuana and other drugs are known to cause, and so that more money is then available for those who have mental health issues not self inflicted by drugs. It's an outrage that we are subsidizing fancy stores for marijuana drug users while mental health service suffers.

Province 'can't sit idly by' during mental health crisis, Higgs says

'It's shocking what we see,' premier says as he promises greater focus on mental health



New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs says the province needs to put more focus on mental health care.

"It's shocking what we see and we can't just sit idly by," Higgs said during an interview with Information Morning Fredericton.

"We have to react to that and have a meaningful response."





Higgs pointed to recent suicides in Saint John as an example.

Hundreds of people lined the Reversing Falls Bridge in Saint John on Monday night to remember those who have died by suicide.
In the last two weeks, the Saint John Police Force responded to four suicides.

New Brunswick's Department of Justice counted 17 suicides in the Saint John area this year, and almost 70 across the province.

Mental health and tax dollars

At Monday's event, some people demanded more tax dollars be spent on adequate mental health care and called on the province to do more.

Earlier this week, Higgs laid out a new plan that he says will change the way the provincial government operates — and that could include cuts to existing programs. Higgs wouldn't say exactly what those programs are, but he pointed to mental health care as an area that needs more attention.




"The health care system, there's programs we may be doing that aren't getting the best results," Higgs said. "And there [are] others that we need to do to put a focus on. … Mental health has become a crisis in some communities."

'We can't have everything' 


A 2015-2016 study by the New Brunswick Health Council, said 31 per cent of New Brunswick youth from Grade 6 to 12 had experienced feeling sad or hopeless almost every day for two weeks or more. They said those feelings were bad enough to keep them from taking part in daily activities.
Thirty-three per cent of students surveyed felt nervous, anxious or were unable to stop worrying almost every day for two weeks or more in a row.

"I really want to condition people to the fact that we can't have everything, but we're going to set priorities together," Higgs said. "And we're going to focus on what's important."
