The profit motive enters the picture here when Poilievre’s legislation follows the Alberta model (see: Compassionate Intervention Act) in which private delivery of forced abstinence “services” stand in for full-blown incarceration.

Poilievre's actual announcement today:
he'd amend the Criminal Code to give police power to charge people for living in a homeless encampment or a tent city
He said these are places where "half-dead, contorted bodies lie on the ground on the verge of overdose from fentanyl"
Compassionate!! /s
