The survey released Monday by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) based on an online survey of 1,626 adult Canadians conducted between April 6 and April 10, found that 87 per cent of Canadians want universal mental health care. Do you think Canada should have universal mental health care?

69 per cent believe the country is in a mental health crisis. Do you agree?

"I think a huge barrier is a mentality that mental health problems are brought upon by your own deficit thinking," said Jean Clinton, a clinical professor in the Department of Psychology, Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences at McMaster University "But it's an illness, it's not a character defect," she added, arguing that education on destigmatizing mental health issues is key. Do you agree that mental health problems are an illness and not a character defect?
