IMHO it might be time to start playing hard-ball with this doc. All psychologists/psychiatrists in Canada must belong to the College of Psychology in their Province. If you start mentioning that you might go to the College (which is their licensing board who WILL do disciplinary action if needed) with your complaints. There is such a thing as negligence and failing to listen to key symptoms of a client.
Start mentioning that if he does not believe your suicidality and you actually do the deed, he would be liable. I know that even in your country you can sue the doctor and that the doctor's license can be taken away.
I've seen doctors perk up when they realize just how educated clients are about their licensing and disciplinary actions.
