I posted this before. The government can move you at will as you are old and fragile and they will charge you $400 A DAY. Creepy Canada lead by Doug Fords Ontario... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/bill-7-long-term-care-1.7440597.
An Ontario court has thrown out a Charter challenge of a long-term care law that allows hospitals to move people into homes they didn't choose, or charge them $400 a day if they want to go elsewhere.

The case — brought forward by the Advocacy Centre for the Elderly (ACE) and the Ontario Health Coalition — was heard in the Superior Court of Justice in September and the decision was released Monday.

The two parties argued Bill 7, the More Beds, Better Care Act, violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. According to the province, however, the law is necessary to free up much-needed hospital beds.
