Oh Canada, Where do I go from here?

They do things differently at The Royal.

The nurse (as a reminder to myself as this is documentation, wearing a cross) operating on behalf of The Royal told me that I need to speak to them in writing now.

She wouldn't do the same. Dr. Rogers already won't do the same, nor will she allow me to record our appointments.

I need to interact with staff, because I am a patient and they offer me services. Dr. Rogers is restricting me to the unit until I go before the Superior Court of Justice, regardless of any circumstance, according to her, and I still need to get permission from her in some form, to go to Service Ontario to replace my stolen driver's license (that was in my wallet - stolen on a locked unit) so I can complete various important tasks, like verifying my identity online, and finishing my registration with the CRA.

Where do I go from here, Abba?

I am self-representing now and I am being walked to suicide and abused in broad daylight in this nation that I love, in one of their leading mental health centres, The Royal.

Oh Canada, where do I go from here?

Update: Emailing this to my psychiatrist and abuser Dr. Tabitha Rogers. (CCing Legal Services at The Royal and Jonathan Vant, the Client and Family Relations Team Manager who is presently on Vacation, and Natania the Schizophrenia North Unit Manager will not tell me when he intends to return, not that I could reasonably even trust her response at this point.)

Update: Unit Manager Natania said that I can speak to (nurse) but refuses to give me certain responses in writing, even though I am representing myself and must go before the Superior Court of Justice to be released (unless Dr. Rogers, at any point, even right before the court date, rescinds the orders). Confusing and conflicting instruction. but I guess if I was so inclined I could speak with (nurse) now. Is that in my best interest if it is not absolutely necessary? They can document anything they want, and I still don't have my records. Some of the hospitals have written me back and say I need government ID in order to access them, and Dr. Rogers still hasn't approved me to go to Service Ontario.

Update (July 10th @ 09:44):

Jonathan Vant, the Client & Family Relations Team Manager, who I thought was on vacation, because of what he told me previously (Natania, the Unit Manager and Dr. Rogers said they didn't know when he would be back, when I repeatedly asked them), came out of nowhere it seems, and told me that he would not respond to me in written form, and kept trying to get me to sit down with him to talk verbally, despite my insistence that I wanted all an official written response and that I wanted to walk away from the situation (he kept following me and trying to get me to sit with him or follow him to a room in private). I ultimately peacefully walked away and started documented, even though I am emotional from what just occurred (By God's grace I was able to not raise my voice or act untowards, praise the LORD for the fruit of the Holy Spirit of self-control). He told me that he documented in his notes on Friday that he was going on vacation later this week, and that he never intended to go to the meeting on Monday (despite what I recall writing down in my notes that are on my remarkable tablet and synced online). I clearly cannot trust Jonathan Vant, the Client & Family Relations Team Manager because of this, and he is supposed to be the one advocating for me when there are these kinds of abuses. I, even after many meetings with Jonathan Vant, followed procedure and contacted the Patient Ombudsman, and they said since I had Jonathan Vant helping me and was already complaining to the CPSO, that their investigation would end.

What am I do to, Abba? What am I to do, Canada?

Update (July 10th, 2025 @ 09:51):

Updated archive on archive.org.

What more can I do, Heavenly Father, I am only a man, on $149 a month on ODSP (not employed), involuntarily restricted to a psychiatric unit, not a government official, and not a lawyer.
