   JCT: Sadly, Nova Scotian David Shea, one of our Gold Stars   
   whose actions seeking an exemption to use marijuana was   
   stayed by Federal Court Justice Michael Phelan, has   
   succumbed to his cancer. I'm sure everyone is heart-broken.   
   David was nice kid.   
      
   I've written a Letter to the Court Administrator about it:   
      
   Sep 15 2014   
   Letter to the Federal Court Administrator   
      
   Dear Sir/Lady:   
      
   This is to inform you that David Shea whose Action T-972-14   
   for a marijuana medical exemption was stayed by Justice   
   Phelan has since died of his lung cancer.   
      
   Given this is only the first of the many terminal patients   
   whose relief was stayed to die, what can I tell his family   
   about his Action for damages by the prohibition that has now   
   impeded his survival. Is he still consolidated with the live   
   patients? Does the action continue for his estate? Is it   
   mooted?   
   John Turmel

   JCT: I wonder if he now has "sufficient evidence" of his   
   medical need to satisfy Justice Phelan.   
      
   Heidi says there's going to be a march on Friday Sep 19 in   
   Halifax down to the police station and to the Federal   
   Courthouse that gave David no remedy! I hope the Nova   
   Scotia team all bring their Gold Stars to wave around.   
      
   Some who had not filed their Motions for Interim Exemptions   
   to be dismissed for "insufficient evidence" of medical need   
   will be filing their new N13s (with motion for leave) before   
   it's too late for them too. Should be quite the show with   
   dozens who still haven't moved for it yet.
