On Being An Object of Analysis

BC NDP aims to side-step another legal challenge to broaden the criminalization of mental health, substance use The politics of the Mental Health Act amendments in Bill 32 reflect a trend of the BC NDP circumventing court rulings under Premier Eby's leadership.

"This is not treatment, it is trauma."

Involuntary treatment is "convenient cover for the BC government to avoid confronting the ongoing housing and toxic supply crises in BC by invisibilizing those disproportionately impacted."

This is a comprehensive overview and analysis of the DULF guilty verdict and case. Charter battle starts November 24. Best wishes and kudos to all involved in this critical litigation.

"There were forty-seven members in the compassion club, and zero deaths occurred among members during the year that the site operated. Since the site was raided and shut down by Vancouver police, at least two members have reportedly died."

These are prisons.

The criminalization of homelessness and push towards mandated, coerced medical interventions and civil commitment—a bipartisan project—was always going to lead us here.

This is why when we talk about, strategize and organize around abolition, we must include ALL carceral spaces.

On Trial for a Radical Approach to Reducing Drug Overdoses in British Columbia The Vancouver duo behind the Drug User Liberation Front faces 40 years behind bars for drug trafficking. But this is no ordinary case.

"When BC authorities declared these mounting deaths a public health emergency, mainly exploiting the situation to push the same, tired teetotal interventions that created this mess, it was just too much to stomach" #drugsky

forced treatment, prescribing experiments/coerced de-prescribing, expansion of law enforcement scope and resources—the violence of these interventions are not 'unintended,' they are purposefully cruel and enabled by those who benefit economically, politically & socially
bsky.app/profile/nurs...

the Mental Health Act was already being weaponized outside of its terms 'on paper' before this expansion, just as many forms of carceral discretion are in BC and beyond. Eby was the head of the BCCLA and of course knows this. He just doesn't care.

"secure care" is a BC NDP public relations label/obscuring of indefinite detention under the Mental Health Act—getting semantic & describing something as categorically different when it's a label without regulatory or legislative backing is just selective and a dog whistle
