Can a government be sued in negligence if they gut funding for lifesaving healthcare?
As an example, I'd use Ontario, Canada, where Doug Ford is closing a bunch of supervised injection sites - I don't think I need to explain the value of them in harm reduction. At least I hope I don't. Anyway, since that will inevitably result in adversity and death, it makes me wonder if people could hypothetically sue the government for negligence in situations like that. Do they have a duty of care that they breached by closing such institutions?
