Canada - New legislation scheduled to be proclaimed into law this fall is being called a draconian act that strips rights from dependent adults by a provincial special interest group that spoke to local seniors last week.
The director of Alberta’s Office of the Public Guardian Brenda Lee Doyle: "Those claims are false and the Adult Guardianship and Trusteeship Act is not only progressive legislation that provides far more protection than it’s outdated predecessor, but it was also drafted through extensive public consultation."
Ruth Maria Adria from the Elder Advocates of Alberta speaking to Peace River seniors: "This is unjust legislation that violates citizens’ rights. Most people don’t know it until it bites them."

And, when the person has been bitten in the icey cold grips of the guardianship racket, it is too late.
The term "draconian act" is accurate. It doesn't make sense to take away every right a person has -- leaving him vulnerable, to protect him. It just doesn't add up.
ReplyDelete..."Most people don't know it until it bites them...."
ReplyDeleteHow true. Even those who know think it's not going to happen to them. And when it does, it's too late, they're trapped.
Just what vulnerable Canadians need - less rights.
