So, who's going to be incarcerated under this new scheme? Addicts who occupy corner offices in highrises and government buildings? Or just unhoused people? Will single parents be forced into "treatment"? What happens to their kids? Just asking questions.

3/7 Alberta leads the charge with sweeping legislation allowing families, healthcare workers, or police to apply for involuntary treatment orders. People deemed at risk could be forced into secure facilities for up to three months — a dramatic policy shift.

BC Supreme Court Rules Blanket Forced Psychiatric Treatment Unconstitutional
The British Columbia Supreme Court has ruled that provisions in the province's involuntary care regime allowing forced psychiatric treatment without assessing a patient's decision-making capacity are unconstitutional. Justice Lauren Blake found these provisions violated patients' Canadian Charter rights to equality, life, liberty, and security of the person. The court ordered the BC government to amend legislation within six months, criticizing the system for granting mental health facility directors automatic power to provide any treatment to involuntary patients without consent or oversight. This decision follows a decade-long legal challenge by the Council of Canadians with Disabilities (CCD), which argued the system wrongly assumes all involuntary patients lack capacity, eroding individual liberty and causing trauma. The ruling also struck down related provisions in BC's Consent Act and Representation Agreement Act. The case highlights tensions between expanding involuntary treatment for severe mental health conditions and respecting patient autonomy, as advocates warn against potential coercion and systemic harms.

Involuntary treatment will fail to effectively treat substance use disorders, harm people and squander untold tax dollars.

And it'll probably target populations already over-represented in the carceral system.
