To say it "comes down" to Reagan seems highly revisionist in nature. After all, a quick trip across the border to Canada reveals they are having the same exactly issues - possibly worst given that the Trudeau government seems determined on growing the population at absurd rates, no matter what. I think the key things we've seen that have hyper-accelerated the trent have been: * The introduction of fentanyl to the West * The lockdowns * "Progressive" policies to be hyper-empathetic on criminals At this stage no amount of asylums will put Humpty Dumpty together again. We would actually need a criminal system and society that is willing to have people face consequences - and that is currently a "far right" idea as far as the Woke West is concerned.

The US was never hyper-empathetic on criminals. Like, it is country with largest incarceration rates, super high convictions rates and a quite long sentences. Also, a country with incredibly expensive justice system. Moreover, it is a country that keeps punishing criminals long after they left the jail with post conviction restrictions designed to make them fail.

Canada's and US' politicians take their ideas from the same think tanks, using them as opposites is not a good comparison. Some provinces do not use all the funds available for healthcare from the federal government. The immigration rate drastic increase is not helping, but the healthcare issues have started before.
