Famous people were doubling up on this too. Like Lombardi (Kings GM?) said he'd donated 5cents ontop of every dollar Bell raised. So he'll donate $350,000

Good on Bell - great campaign to help mental illness initiatives across Canada.

I had a "friend" post a massive FB post (and he's in his mid-20s) pretty much saying anyone who's depressed needs to go outside because they are just lazy. Here's the full post, it's good because it shows the total ignorance of the world on mental health still. I think the guys had 1 too many head injuries personally to say stuff like this:

I'm pretty sure people like Robin Williams, Mark Salling and the many other actors, professional athletes and regular people in general weren't lazy, had friends, aspirations and probably didn't care about most peoples opionions. Yes. Truly ignorant.

I dunno if anyone cares but he got some replies and posted back at them.

My point is all these sheep that think because they bah together 1 day a year they make a difference. You don't. Bell let's talk is an advertising campaign. Nothing else. Throwing money at this doesn't fix problems. We need bodies volenteering to help others. Not just a bunch of keyboard heros screaming justice for all. 90% of the poeple saying lets talk do nothing for their community. So keep preaching to save the world, even though it'll won't change amything at least you can sleep knowing you are part of "change".

I donate all my cans and bottles to "cans and bottles for orphans" that action alone is 1000x better than a ****ing facebook post about how you are here to talk. Make a difference even if its small, just stop talking about how you want it to be different and do nothing. Because as I said all this talk is ****ing PATHETIC.

I think he's just missing the point of Lets Talk. How it's supposed to break the stigma that people with a mental illness are alone, or have to go through it alone. The way he bounces all over the place with his counter points makes me think he just doesn't get the point of #BellLetsTalk.
