How Big Pharma Sold Depression and Its Treatment to the World

Why antidepressants fail many patients and a review of the forgotten cures for depression
•After the SSRIs were developed, their manufacturers realized the population needed to be convinced they were suffering from depression so as many people as possible would buy their drugs.

​II. The Death of the Trades & The "Build Canada" Scam
​As someone who has worked in the trades for over 15 years, I see the "holes" in your Build Communities Strong Fund. You talk about "supercharging" homebuilding, but your policies are crushing the people who actually do the work:
​The Productivity Trap: You demand 500,000 homes a year while your "hidden" fuel taxes and inflation make it impossible for ...
