But they’ve defunded treatment centres…

Classic conservative governing — opting for reactionary, authoritarian solutions to problems they themselves created through deleting all of the existing preventative solutions that were 10x more effective.

Also, in the CBC article about it, there's this line: "a patient won't be able to refuse medications that the commission has decided they will take to treat their addiction." How the hell does that jive with the right to decide over all medical decisions that Smith recently amended into Alberta's constitution? I find it pretty strange that they keep writing legislation restricting who this right applies to.

Let's be clear. This is detention of "undesirables" without due process.

Just like what Trump is doing.

It's unconstitutional. It's illegal. It's inhumane, unjustifiable, sadistic, and most of all it's INCREDIBLY evil.
