A sad state of affairs in Canada. Diabolical really.
After more than a year of being forced to stay away from his mother's long-term care home in Windsor, Paul Ziman broke the ban imposed upon him by Village at St. Clair to see his mom for the holidays — leading to his arrest and heightening calls from advocates for police forces to be properly trained in cases like these.
There were multiple visits that took place over the course of a few days. On Christmas Eve, according to Ziman, police were called but did not force him to leave.
But on Boxing Day, Ziman was offered a hallway visit with his mother but he refused and visited with her in her room. Police were called and this time there was a different response. Ziman said he was removed from the building in handcuffs, was released outside the home and issued a ticket under the Ontario Trespass to Property Act (TPA) for failing to leave the premises when directed, with a $65 charge. He says he was warned by police not to return again.
