MODERATORS
 

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.

Makes you wonder why the Sask party really wants to be able to involuntarily detain people for "psych" reasons. Shades of USSR policies?

I mean, sure, but you don't have to go that far or far back to find purely Canadian policies that did this to all sorts of people for all sorts of reasons.

It's still happening.
