   TURMEL: No-Class Crown chintzes on PDFs for MedPot patients   
      
   JCT: I'm the lead Appellant for 26 of us appealing Justice   
   Phelan's ruling that a patient's Authorization To Possess   
   was "insufficient evidence" of medical need, the judge   
   wanted to play doctor, a real doctor's say-so was enough.   
      
   What's funny is that Justice Phelan didn't mention it when   
   Stephen Burrows was before him at the Big Event and Steve   
   had the pictures of his tumor in his back pocket. Imagine   
   finding out the judge wanted to see the proof but didn't let   
   him know before denying him his medicine for "insufficient   
   evidence" his tumor was being decreased.   
      
   Then the Crown insisted that the Appellant me pay for the   
   production of the Appeal Book, the usual procedure, but   
   since the consolidation was saving them bundles of time and   
   money, I asked the Court to make them pay the cost and asked   
   that they send a copy to the other 25 patient Appellants.   
      
   Then I thought of a way they could do that for almost no   
   cost, just email a PDF to each patient and sent in that   
   submission, but a few days late, so the judge had already   
   ordered them to pay for my copy.   
      
   I was hoping the Crown would show a little class, like they   
   did for the Big Event where they provided each Plaintiff   
   with a complimentary copy of the documentation, especially   
   since sending PDFs was almost free in comparison to "print   
   and shipping" costs.   
      
   I just got the letter from Jon Bricker:   
      
   Department of Justice   
   Toronto   
   July 6 2015   
      
   Dear Mr. Turmel   
      
   I confirm receipt of your email of June 24 2015. The   
   Federal Courts Rules and May 27, 2015 Order of the Federal   
   Court of Appeal require that the Appeal Book be served in   
   hardcopy on the lead Appellant. There is no requirement that   
   it be served electronically or on persons other than the   
   lead Appellant. Accordingly, my client will not be preparing   
   or circulating electronic copies of the Appeal Book at this   
   time.   
   Jon Bricker   
   Business and Regulatory Law Division   
      
   JCT: So I would have to make a PDF of their three 3-inch   
   volumes of Appeal Book to provide a copy that they already   
   have. Talk about treating sickly patients with no class.   
   That's the Justice Department of Canada, neutral, showing as   
   little class as possible.   
      
   Well, it just means that instead of them setting a cheap   
   precedeent of sending PDFs for future events, I'll just keep   
   asking judges from now on including the Mean Seventeen too   
   to send paper copies until I catch a judge who thinks the   
   patients who consented to consolidation to avail the   
   convenience of the Crown deserve a copy of what's going on.   
      
   Wouldn't it be neat if I gave them a form asking to be split   
   off from the consolidation and that the Crown pay for their   
   Appeal Book like the Crown did for Turmel? Har har har. If   
   it's the only way for them to get a copy now that the Crown   
   won't send them a cheap one, talk about a neat nightmare the   
   Crown will have caused itsef. Anyway, that can always be   
   done later for that reason now that the Crown blew their   
   chance to keep things cheap.
