@ziade_paul I really don't think it is.. I think it's politically extremely popular, but it's expensive and takes effort to get done.

@aidangomez Unless this is overturned by the Supreme Court in the US, it's not an option for us... https://t.co/6Le7P0pyt6 Is there a parallel to this in Canada?

@m_att_dunn I think now would be the time to call on law makers to overturn that precedent. Agree with that in place it's impossible to actually fix the issue.

@aidangomez We need to build infrastructure, but throwing people into facilities against their will when they are not harming themselves or others is not likely to happen.
