As early as this fall, people in Saskatchewan with severe addictions may be forced into treatment at Saskatchewan Hospital, a psychiatric facility in North Battleford.
The Sask. Party on Tuesday passed the Compassionate Intervention Act into law.
The Opposition NDP, the Saskatchewan Medical Association (SMA) and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan (CPSS) have become vocal about their opposition to the law’s implementation.
It could be nefarious, but we have drugs altering the minds of its victims, and they aren’t able to choose to help themselves. Its a tough call. We help physically injured people even when they arent able to ask for help. We have to somehow help those that can’t help themselves get healthy.
Has anything else worked?
