Connected Scandals

Critic

Ontario's only maximum-security psychiatric hospital has kept severely mentally ill patients locked alone in rooms for years — one man for about 20 years — in conditions an independent reviewer found akin to what the UN "deemed to constitute torture." The Ford government was warned in 2018 and responded with a single phone call.

Co-author of the "six core strategies." Said in May 2026 that Waypoint’s claim to have adopted the strategies is not true, calling it an "abrogation of duty."
