“‘Blanket' forced treatment of involuntary psychiatric patients unconstitutional, B.C. court rules” “B.C. government given 6 months to amend legislation”. by Simon Little · CBC News · Jul 30, 2026 “Elements of British Columbia's involuntary care regime that allow forced psychiatric treatment, regardless of a person's capacity to make health care decisions, are unconstitutional, the B.C. Supreme Court has ruled. In a decision published Thursday, Justice Lauren Blake ruled provisions in the Mental Health Act violated both patients' Canadian Charter equality rights and rights to life, liberty and security of the person, and gave the province a six-month window to amend the legislation. In her ruling, Blake found that under B.C.'s system, instead of narrowly-defined intrusions into patient's rights, mental health facility directors are "automatically granted a blanket power to provide any psychiatric treatment they determine appropriate to any involuntary patient in any situation." The ruling comes as B.C. seeks to ramp up involuntary treatment for people with severe mental health conditions, substance use disorders and brain injuries. In a statement, B.C.'s Ministry of Attorney General said it would determine its next steps after reviewing the decision, but that mental health care delivery would continue "uninterrupted" for now. “Involuntary care is an important part of mental health care systems across the country — and people experiencing mental illness deserve timely, high-quality care that respects their rights, dignity and autonomy while supporting their health and safety," the ministry said. B.C. system unique The ruling caps a legal challenge launched 10 years ago by the Council of Canadians with Disabilities (CCD). The CCD did not challenge B.C.'s involuntary admission, detention and treatment system at large. Instead, it focused on how under B.C. law, anyone who is involuntarily admitted is automatically deemed to have consented to psychiatric treatment The CCD argued B.C.'s system wrongly assumes all involuntary patients lack capacity to make treatment decisions and "obliterates completely an individual’s liberty and ability to choose" resulting in trauma and mistrust. But in her ruling, Blake found B.C. was an "outlier" in Canada as the only jurisdiction not to require an assessment of a patient's capacity to make treatment decisions and to allow the unfettered treatment of capable patients without their consent or with independent oversight. “Every other province and territory has mental health legislation that impairs the health care consent rights of involuntarily admitted patients in a significantly less drastic manner," she ruled. ‘Legal fiction' Key to the ruling is paperwork the director of a mental health facility signs when admitting an involuntary patient in B.C., known as Form 5 According to the decision, the form has only two options: either the patient signs, acknowledging the nature of their condition, treatment options and risk and gives consent, or the director signs on their behalf, concluding they are incapable of consenting for themselves. Blake ruled that choice creates a "legal fiction" that patients either consent or are not mentally capable. All but one of 14 mental health experts who testified agreed that though it was not common, some patients who meet the criteria for involuntary detention are capable of providing informed consent Several experts testified that many people who initially refuse treatment later agree to it, and that clinical outcomes were better if a patient participated in their treatment. The court also heard testimony from patients who had undergone involuntary treatment and their families. Witnesses raised concerns about coercion and physical force, the lack of procedural safeguards, lasting harms including the stigma of involuntary admission and that the system overrides the will of substitute decision-makers to act on behalf of an involuntarily detained person. Along with the Mental Health Act, the ruling also struck down related provisions of B.C.'s Consent Act and Representation Agreement Act.”
Israeli defence force units have a long history of violent hazing, occasionally resulting in the death of fresh recruits. The tradition is called “Young girls-veteran girls” with an emphasis on humiliating the male soldiers by emphasizing their lack of manhood by using female titles. Some well known cases include: 1) Using a staple gun to put staples all over the body of fresh recruits. 2) Beating the bodies of blindfolded recruits occasionally to death. 3) Repeated assault with sticks, bars and heavy rubber straps. The phenomenon is accompanied by satanic imagery. Pictures of Satan, the Grim Reaper (the Angel of Death), and demons are placed around d the base to cultivate an atmosphere of violence and terror and obedience. When these pictures were removed to try and stop the phenomenon soldiers rebelled and left the base. They preferred to violate orders and discipline than stop torturing each other. It is no coincidence this happens in the torture and death camp that is Sde Teiman. A place where Palestinians are routinely raped, tortured and murdered. The soldiers there are satanic monsters, trained to destroy and put the value of sadism even above military discipline. There are the posters taken off the walls. One says “kingdom of demons.” Indeed.
