Ontario voters HATE giving money to the disabled, addicted, or mentally ill. They would rather blame people for their afflictions and feel morally justified in punishing them. Conversely, they have no problem spending money on prisoners, AS LONG AS THEY SUFFER.

So maybe we should build nice jails with cells that are more like decent housing units, with guards that are more like nurses and social / support workers. 🤔🫣

No thanks, we're going to use involuntary treatment legislation to funnel "addicts" and other "housing resistant people" into private clinics that, hey!, look a lot like shitty prisons.
