Brainwashed: The Secret CIA Experiments in Canada: Patients at a psychiatric hospital in Montreal were subjected to intensive shock treatments, LSD and drug-induced comas in the 1950s and 1960s. The brutal experiments were funded by the Canadian government and the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.
The Fifth Estate began investigating the story in 1980 and followed the victims who successfully sued the CIA. Now, as result of our reporting, more and more victims and their families are coming forward.
Newly unearthed documents reveal how Ottawa kept files secret, misplaced vital documents - and forced victims to keep compensation agreements confidential.

"quietly shut down" means continued in secret.

It's not like something from a horror movie, it's been happening in the US and around the world for over 100 years, it's happening right now.

That broke me about the daughter saying, "Dont touch the covers because mom left it that way."

NEVER send your loved one to a "Behavioral Health" Institute. My brother and I were in separate institutes and both of us were traumatized. A teen was raped in the one I was at and many of us weren't given our blood pressure or heart medications. We were served spoiled food, which we didn't eat. I starved for 4 days before my mom got a lawyer to get me out. Little did I know that they were holding me against my will since I had went there voluntarily. They will make up reasons to force a longer stay.

This is so evil. How is it that no one was held accountable for this? Preying on the most vulnerable in such a disgusting way. And this really happened not even a conspiracy theory.

I've know for over 30 years this existed, a patient told me about it in California. At the time I was so naive, but it never left me, I'll never forget him

This absolutely disgusting. Where does the government get off doing experiments on the general population without permission.

@mogbaba

Our grandchildren may hear that we have also been brainwashed, without knowing ourselves.

Since CBC is airing this we know this isn't the whole story, only what they are allowed to show. Makes the reality even scarier.

My mother was one of these patients. It affected myself, my older brother and my younger sister. We ended up in foster homes for years because my mother was incapable of looking after us until she met my step-father. Even when we got back together as a family my mother was not a good mother and was very anxious, an alcoholic and fought with severe depression.

This is horrific!!! And I’m certain it’s still ongoing. You can’t tell me the government has grown a heart and decided to stop these type of experiments. I’m disgusted Praying for all those people affected by it. We just passed through Nevada. I remember saying to my husband, “I wonder why no one has built any homes on this land?” He told me right then it’s because of all the chemical testing our government did. Now I see😩😩😩

My parents both worked in mental institutions in Australia. I am sure the same thing happened here in Australia. The things that went on was incredible. We lived close to the facility you could hear the patients screaming all day and night.

This still happens . My friend has been held againgst his will at a psychatric hospital in alberta for over 10 years and is still there. If he tries refusing the drugs they strap him down and inject him. He has never been charged with a crime , but theres nothing i can do about it. Its disgusting.

My Dad was one of these poor souls. It was very painful seeing this show. I truly hope that this Goverment does what is right and long overdue. I wish i knew how to make this right for me Dad even if he has passed on.Someone should pay for what was done.

Anyone who thinks these type of programs are not going on today is a fool.

So when people came back from the war and they showed positive feelings toward the enemy the government thought that there must be something wrong with them? It's still the same way now, if you don't think exactly how the government demands you think they assume something is wrong with you.
