Trudeau Speaks in Thunder Bay


Margaret Trudeau says prisons are not the place to house people with mental illness.

The former wife of Pierre Trudeau spoke out against the Harper government's new crime bill to students at Confederation College in Thunder Bay yesterday, saying more jails are not the answer.

She's also likes to see more celebrities like former Olympian Clara Hughes speak out about mental health issues.

Trudeau has spent the last five years speaking on the struggles she had with depression.
