Advocates question Saskatchewan’s plan for involuntary addiction treatment
Prairie Harm Reduction's Kayla DeMong says Saskatchewan’s new involuntary treatment bill leaves significant gaps, with no clear plan for assessments, services, or housing once people are released.

On first glance, Bill 48 seems both open to exploitation by peace officers, because of its over broad definitions, and ineffective. I have a hard time imagining how involuntary treatment would have saved my younger brother’s life. I think he still would have died from an overdose, as he did in 2023.
Saskatchewan's government tabled a bill Friday to force treatment on those battling drug addictions, a plan a mother of two dead sons says would have helped them. www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/politics/mot... #skpoli

If they actually did their research, follow the evidence, they would know that forced treatment seldom works, and then people are put back into society with no supports, with the same traumas, & now lower tolerance/vulnerability to overdose.

Saskatchewan tables involuntary drug treatment bill as fall session ends | Globalnews.ca
Saskatchewan's government introduced its involuntary treatment bill Friday on the final day of its fall sitting with critics wondering how it will all play out.

So what this is saying is that the Sask govt could easily afford to add more treatment spots if they wanted. But they are instead saving these spaces for involuntary treatment. These contracts will go to for profit agencies who don’t have the patients best interest in mind
December 6, 2025 at 2:39 PM
Knew it was coming but still disappointing. I fear for the people who will be unfairly targeted and harmed by this legislation. Involuntary treatment is a violation of human rights and most likely unconstitutional. Par for the course for this govt.

Something like this is coming to Sask too, you watch
Oct 2022: Marshall Smith becomes premier’s CoS.
Dec 2022: ROSC Solutions Group (RSG) co-founded by associate of M. Smith.
Dec 2022: RSG lands ~$25 million in procurement contracts not disclosed until Aug 2024.
2023: RSG gets 10s millions more.
2025: RSG owns 5 companies running on AB public $.
A few companies have made a great deal of money under the Alberta Recovery Model and there's little to show that they have actually delivered on the outcomes Albertans expect. Are people's health outcomes better off with a two-tier, American-style healthcare? The answer is almost always NO.

Forced abstinence it’s not the solution and will result in more deaths.
Putting somebody through forced detox who is not seeking treatment or abstinence is akin to torture.

Drugs are ever more toxic while people providing safe drugs and save lives are criminalized.
Politicians are cowards, bowing to moral panic while walking over the corpses of people who use drugs.

DULF is a humanist organization that has saved lives. They did what the government has failed to do & regulated the drugs people were already using. That same government is charging them with crimes for not sitting idly by & watching more people die preventable deaths from an unregulated drug supply
Founders of Vancouver’s Drug User Liberation Front Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalinin have just been found guilty of drug trafficking.

Justice Murray rules CDSA exemption didn’t include procurement & distribution.

“There is no doubt all of DULF’s actions were for one purpose.”

This photo was taken during the press conference for the opening of the consumption site at the RA Hospital in #yeg.
The photographer caught me in a private moment reflecting how such a site could saved Danny.
The closure of the SCS means more people suffer and more families mourn.

Where are all the 2020 freedom folks?? Where’s the freedom convoy? They should be out in the streets as we speak .

Why are they all of sudden so silent when real freedoms and rights are being violated?
these are evil acts by the Alberta government. They invade people's privacy and abolish their Charter rights to education, healthcare, and to live openly and safely in their communities. they're incompatible with a free and democratic society, and if these acts stand then we no longer have a Charter
I knew that this day was coming. The UCP had been warning for months that they were going to take away the rights of transgender people (not just children but adults too). I thought I was prepared. But I am still very angry that it has happened.

Alberta went after workers first, and now they’re going after children and anyone who identifies as female. They’re shoving down law after law using the notwithstanding clause and stripping away rights. This is anti-democratic. It’s authoritarianism, pure and simple. UCP ‘freedumb' for ya.

I’d say a long time ago, maybe when Harper tried to stop insite from opening in Vancouver, although it goes farther back than that

Imagine using the notwithstanding withstanding clause to remove the rights and powers of all Conservatives to ensure a better world.

They'd lose their fucking minds.

They'd also never admit that they are okay doing it to others.

Alberta and Sask trying to one-up each other on how many of their citizens they can harm
Every Canadian, no matter where you live, should be outraged over Alberta's UCP government using the Notwithstanding clause to trample the rights of yet another group of citizens, especially after losing their court challenge to restrict 2SLGBTQ's human rights.

It’s not surprising why “young people” are “saying no” to marriage and childbearing/rearing.

I don’t know why this is a mystery.
