The whole initiative has been a fumble to me since the first year, and only exists to shine a positive light on the Bell brand.

All corporate charitable initiatives are like this, and always have been.

Let's Talk is January 22. Countdown starts that night to approximately 2 weeks later when Bell announces more layoffs - and possibly radio station sales/shutdowns. 

Now I know when to avoid social media and all Bell-owned or operated media operations. Goddamn idiots, each and every one of them at Bell, including their staff, management, and especially their greedy, faceless, never satisfied shareholders; an absolute cancer of Canadian society, the lowest goddamn form of life in this country. If you're one of them, I'm not friggin' talking to you. EVER.

Bell's Let's Talk drive is no lame and obviously cynical.
I don't see any evidence that Bell helps anyone through mental illness or other psychological problems.
Their mass firings alone have probably caused a great deal of psychological pain and suffering over the years.
They should have picked a cause where they could at least pretend to be serious about, like diabetes research or maybe child abuse or something.
I have numerous friends and acquaintances who have worked in various capacities for Bell and they have told me about cold and callous treatment at the hands of their employer.
Corporations should never claim to have sympathies for human psychological suffering because they know they are likely to cause it.
In one company I worked for managers were told not to form friendships with non management staff because they might have to do something nasty to them some time.
One of the managers admitted that to me.
