A man in Canada has been allegedly placed in a mental health facility against his will, sparking debate about the limits of the law and freedom of speech.
The video at the center of the scandal shows Nicholas Jordan Wagter, a Canadian biophysics graduate, being stopped and told he had been “certified” for admission to a hospital.
“We’re part of a program that includes the Vancouver Coastal Health and the Vancouver Police,” an unidentified man can be heard telling Wagter, who was in his vehicle recording the interaction.
