Oh they won’t lose any funding and their job should get easier with their most difficult people institutionalized. Seems like a win win for them.

Well, it is a good beginning but years overdue. Suspect the poverty pimps will not be thrilled.

The BC Civil Liberties Association will certainly do their best to ensure this good beginning ends as quickly as possible.

As they should. Unless by involuntary care they mean prison and the perpetrator will be arrested and tried for criminal activity. Otherwise it is most unwise to give these clowns the consent to decide who is mentally unwell enough to go into involuntary care.

Just enforce the law…. If someone is downtown harassing people, arrest them. Plenty of laws exist to enable this. If they repeat it then they can go into involuntary care a special ward of the prison. Let their lawyer get them into a psychiatric ward….

The tools to activate involuntary care have been in place since the establishment of the judicial system.

 

Play by the rules and one gets to live their life in relative peace.

 

It's when the rules are bent, overlooked and disregarded....is when we have a social discord.
