As part of its plan to ban supervised consumption sites and close 10 of those operating in Ontario, the province has announced the creation of 19 intensive addiction recovery facilities, named HART Hubs.

A $378-million budget has been allocated to create the new spaces, which will combine addiction recovery with highly supportive housing units. The program should lead to 375 “highly supportive” housing units as part of the hub model.

That doesn't sound bad, actually.

Except that the minister was on CBC yesterday, and made it clear that they're following Alberta's lead of forced treatment.

You don't go to these to get clean, you get sent there by the police.

BC also. People support it because they want to fix the problem, and by fix the problem I mean "make it not visible to me anymore because I can't go downtown without having to walk near the untouchables and it's a nuisance".

(I don't personally think forced treatment is the solution, but am just reiterating sentiments I have heard)
