Quote "Aren't you going a little harsh on someone who apparently is our ally in all this? I think her concern was the possibility of people gaining a sense of false hope. It wasn't guaranteed the case would go that way, and if people had put their resources at this project instead of something else they're more naturally suited for, only to have it fail it would have been demoralizing to activists.

Once the evidence was made clear that it was winning, she shifted her support to the case in question. To me it seems that Alsion and her organization are more experienced on the direct practical aspects of obtaining permits and helping people start coop gardens within the boundaries of Health Canada law. Distributing pamphlets and so forth may be a weak point in that organization, and be too inefficient for them to use unless they have some good evidence it will be successful. And the same for filling out the form letter or whatever it is in the kit.

We need to be good to eachother if we're all on the same team. I realize Alison's probably not active on these boards anymore, but it still bothered me enough I felt compelled to respond."



You apparently don't know the case history in all of this. Let's just say she went out of her way & did everything she could to scare people away from obtaining help, simply because she didn't like the man who put together the court kits, John Turmel. BTW the kit is so easy to use even Alison could have managed it without demoralizing anything!!

She is now involved in a class action law suit against the Canadian government for lying & covering up the truth....that the laws on M.J. were repealed in 2001 & only parliament can create a new law once a law has died, which is what repealed means.

She tried to discredit him & now is using a similar argument to the one that we've been using in court for over 6 years!!!
If it weren't for Alison & Allen Young we wouldn't need to prove the law died, they would have announced that the MMAR did not save the CDSA. They went to court & "FIXED" it & we are all still getting busted & having to prove what is FACT. It's a big cover up & now she wants a piece of the pie. Nice "shift"

You also have no idea of the way she treated us for being on the winning side, that is Terry Parker & John Turmel, the men that did all the work & KILLED the law. She didn't even know us & attacked us on many, many sites for a long time.

The thing is everyone has the right to fight their charges without repercussions, she couldn't get that through her head.

False hope??? Better than no hope we'd say & that's what you get when you hire a lawyer. No guarantee the case would go that way?
Wrong!! It was & it is still spelled out in black & white, she would never take the time to read it because she was busy listening to her lawyer & hating on REAL activists.

We have 3 wins in court of our own & then there's all the people John helped & so on. She must have heard of all the good things we've all been doing, we just hope she doesn't get the chance to screw up or should we say "fix" any more laws!!
