Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s usage of the word “nutcase” in relation to a mental health hospital patient was “unfortunate,” according to one national organization working on mental health advocacy.
Ford used the word “nutcase” during a phone call to a talk radio show on Thursday. He was demanding answers on how Zhebin Cong — a patient detained at a mental health hospital for killing his roommate — was able to escape. Police have previously said that Cong had left the country and that they are working with international law enforcement agencies to find him.Quenneville said mental health advocates try to reduce stigma related to mental health illness “in whatever form.”
“While he was found criminally not responsible, we think that equating this incident with the millions of people who struggle with mental health does a great disservice to the mental health community,” she said in a statement.
As offensive and insensitive fordnation's comment is, on the other hand, that's a whole lot of projection 🤔ONpoli
Who cares? Slow news day? TrudeauMustGo
He must referring to Trudeau! TrudeaMustGo
In the 80's we could say anything. Now its a politically correct world. If the current snowflake generation had to fight World War 2. We would have lost. TrudeauMustGo NotABot
Such ignorance is also observed at the federal level. High ranking RCMP Officers in BC refer to members with disabilities as “wackos”. RCMP_GRC_EDIVCO
This happened several days ago—old news. But, of course, you're going to milk it for all it's worth. TrudeaMustGo JohnToryMustGo MAGA IlanOmar is a White RACIST!
He accurately described a nutcase by calling him a nutcase. Smear campaigns like this against non Liberal politicians is getting old, anyone with half a brain in their head can see right through it. TrudeauMustGo
for heaven’s sake people. Stop calling everyone out! Nutcase means your ideas are stupid!!!! Get over it. He has the right to chose his own words. Even if you don’t like them. Judge him accordingly but it makes you look weak.
He is pissed off at the incompetent and misguided CAMH. The people that allowed that murderer to roam free need to be fired.
He hacked another person to death / walked away from facility / got through airport security / boarded a plane full of people who could have been in serious danger and our media focus on DougFord calling this lunatic a “nutcase” Pretty shameful display of media manipulation
Do you see how Global fake news changes the rhetoric to attack conservative leaders every chance they get? That’s why global is fake news.
globalnews Here goes global and their politically correct reporting.. global, you are all a bunch of “nutcases!”
globalnews Murderer on a day pass. Access to his passport and funds. Makes his way through Airport security, and boards a plane. Why and how should be the questions.
globalnews Trumpitis!
globalnews This constant attempt to trap Conservatives into a Politically Correct speech box that prevents them from saying anything about anybody is getting tiresome. I urge the Left to look at themselves in the mirror when it comes to 'hateful rhetoric'.
globalnews Hes correct. But Dougie. You are cutting programs and such that could have helped the guy so stfu. Also there are talks of how to get this guy back to Canada. Hummm naw leave the guy where he is. And don't let him back. Problem solved.
globalnews Worlds going to far with this foolishness. People need a thicker skin
globalnews TroyWestwood
Bunch of nutcase’s running the media
globalnews Language is important. Mental health is important. Ford being angry a man brutally murdered someone and fled the country is understandable but poor wording is the least disturbing part of this story. If he had said, how did he escape the nuthouse? Sure. I'd get that.
globalnews It's no surprise, the stuff that comes out of his mouth, he has absolutely no class.
Must have been talking about Turdeau. No problem.
globalnews He's describing himself.
globalnews Problem?
globalnews So what? Nutcase nutcase nutcase
globalnews Anybody who carves up anybody else, fits the definition of a Nutcase!
nutcase is not a professional mental health word but does get the message received by everyone efficiently.
globalnews Anybody else can call the nutcase murderer a nutcase and it would be ok.
Oh no, Liberals participate in parades where naked adults are prancing around kids and using children as sexual objects and props.
globalnews Oh my. Wash his mouth with soap.
Omg...get over it. There are many....
globalnews Rob Ford is rolling over in his grave right now. That brother of his has some hands in his pocket
globalnews Guy killed his buddy with a meat cleaver ya he’s a nut case. The focus should be on how the hell does he’s escape to China not hurting Liberals feelings!
globalnews Oh oh get the tissues ready for the liberal snowflakes somebody’s offended!!
globalnews The sad part of this story is you would think fordnation gets it and understands it — and given his connection to those with mental health and addiction issues you would think there would be a connection — instead it’s a dead end.
globalnews Doesn't he know that people are too soft and pathetic these days? 🙄
globalnews I thought he was referring to the people that lets this killler loose.
I use the word nutcase all the time. Even a few times when global does a ridiculous story on any conservative. TrudeauMustGo
globalnews That criminal is bat shit crazy nutcase. Ford is right. Progressive heads explode again!
globalnews So The guy is a nutcase. The police and judges are idiots for allowing a free pass to this NUTCASE
globalnews He tends to do that - often. Our Donald Trump 'Mini-Me'
So would rather side with a murdering nutcase who fled the country, and try to smear Premier Ford, nice.
globalnews This man needs his nuts encased in concrete!
globalnews Well...DougDrug is a nutcase
globalnews Ya, so what? Oh right, not politically correct. 🙄
globalnews So sensitive
globalnews Triggered!
lol!!
Get over it Global, and move on. Would you be that picky with a leftist using even worse language, or for that matter getting physically violent?
