Ontario is set to study how it can introduce involuntary addictions treatment for people involved in the correctional system, as it prepares to table a justice bill the government is positioning as being tough on crime. The government intends to mandate treatment for people with addictions in jail, on probation and on parole, and officials will now look into how this can be done, how much it would cost, what sort of help they would need from the federal government to enact those measures, and consider lessons learned from other jurisdictions. Do you think Ontario should pursue involuntary addiction treatment for individuals in the correctional system?

The idea of involuntary treatment has been a controversial one, with advocates arguing that it rarely works and treatment is significantly more successful when someone is ready to quit. Health Minister Sylvia Jones said she wants to hear from experts and people with lived experience during consultations. How effective do you believe involuntary addiction treatment is compared to voluntary treatment?

But Attorney General Doug Downey's press conference about the bill was overshadowed by comments Premier Doug Ford made Wednesday about judges and justices of the peace, saying some are entitled and soft on crime and suggesting he wants to see an American-style system of electing judges. "Last time I checked, there hasn't been any judges elected," he said. "Maybe that's the problem. We should do what the U.S. does. Let's start electing our judges, holding them accountable. And that's my rant for the day, because I've just had it." What is your view on Premier Ford's comments suggesting judges should be elected?
