In Hamilton, the local restrictions on police action have been lifted. I don't know what the end results have been, but I bet they're not great.
The mental health connection to all this has never been acknowledged politically (to my recollection). It looms large, though I've yet to hear a provincial leader say so. Just seems to be ignore the problem and it will go away.
