This is utterly insane. In Canada, a psychiatrist can just LOOK at you in a public place, sitting on a bench, or eating a sandwich, or walking down the sidewalk, and they can "certify" you as being insane, and the police will arrest you and take you to a psychiatric evaluation.
No rights. No law. No due process. No defense.
The psych doctors are the ones who are insane. And government authoritarians, of course.

A biophysics grad was just detained under BC's Mental Health Act. All based on a psychiatrist's opinion after observing him in a cafe. He looked at him & said “I’m certifying you” THAT’S ALL IT TOOK. No warrant. No on scene evaluation. No psych evaluation. No paperwork shown. No chance to comply voluntarily. Just because a psychiatrist saw him in a cafe. Meanwhile, the same city has a documented drug addicts, where one person, has been apprehended 79 times and is still on the street. The government can grab a credentialed researcher off the road in 20 minutes but it can't keep a chronic offender out of the same intersection for more than a week? What a joke.
