Connected Scandals
Victim
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.
Named lead plaintiff in the proposed class action, which was dismissed at certification. The Supreme Court of Canada refused leave to appeal in April 2026 (SCC docket 41947).
