it's so tough to watch him...he tries to appear as professional but it doesn't work.
love how he says the updates aren't that timely because they volunteer...?? get a volunteer that will update the site. it's not that hard...unless there's so many updates
"what if CONroy walked away"...I hope he does. get someone who cares about us instead of $$. he's giving us a lame duck defense anyway. Tousaw did something he couldn't-he got 2 patients approved to carry more than the 150g limit. CONroy failed everyone on that one too.

Re: NOTICE OF INTENTIONS & PENDING LEGAL ACTIONS
From: Nadine E. Bews of Calgary, Alberta.
Be advised that the following claims are being made:
CONROY-WILCOX JOINT-PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE SOLICITOR-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP WITH A NON-LAWYER
1. Jason Wilcox retained John Conroy QC as his legal counsel in order to file a medical marijuana legal action. engagement letter - Exhibit 1
2. Wilcox established a ‘coalition of volunteers’ operating under the name
MMAR PPL/DPL Coalition against Repeal aka Cannabis Rights Coalition (the “Coalition”) and established a trust fund under the name
MMAR PPL/DPL Coalition against Repeal to operate as the Coalition’s principle fund raising mechanism for the purpose of soliciting and holding funds required to finance legal action to “stop some or all of the pending MMPR”. tri-fold - Exhibit 2
3. Wilcox appointed John Conroy QC as trustee of the Coalition’s trust fund creating a Conroy-Wilcox joint personal representative solicitor client relationship with a non-lawyer pursuant to July 1, 2015 amendments to the
definition of trust funds under
Rule 1 of the
Law Society of British Columbia’s Code of Professional Conduct.
Application shall be made to federal tax court in order to obtain a decision supporting the claim that the Coalition’s corporate identity is that of a private enterprise belonging solely to Wilcox and operates under the authority of a
Conroy-Wilcox joint-personal representative solicitor-client relationship with a non-lawyer.
FINANCIAL MISCONDUCT
1. Wilcox improperly solicited funds from the public; and
· improperly solicited cash donations through the strategic placement of lock boxes at locations across Canada for the purpose of payment of legal fees and which require a receipt disclosing the identity of the contributor for such cash donations; and
· failed to provide annual disclosure in proper format which is in the form of audited financial statements and not Youtube videos and Facebook posts; and
Legal action in civil court shall be filed with a demand for full
financial disclosure and relief sought.
CORPORATE MISCONDUCT
4. Wilcox administers Coalition affairs under his sole supervision and authority in all matters and with no right of appeal; and
Legal action in civil court shall be filed for
abuse of authority and remedy sought.
Email thread - Exhibit 3
5. Wilcox incorporated the Coalition without proper consultation with the Coalition’s contributors and without passing a special resolution by a voting membership; and
Legal action in civil court shall be filed for
abuse of authority and
corporate misconduct and remedy sought.
6. Wilcox intentionally breached the terms of agreement for the sale of the cannabis lifestyle products that I delivered to the Coalition for sale at the Health Expo and thereafter; and
Legal action in civil court shall be filed for
breach of contract and remedy sought.
Email thread - Exhibit 4
7. Wilcox intentionally slandered my good name by falsely labelling me as drunk and delusional while staffing the Coalition booth at the Vancouver 2013 Heath Expo; and
Legal action in civil court shall be filed for
slander and remedy sought.

8. Wilcox expelled me from the Coalition without just cause or the right to a vote or to appeal your decision; and
Legal action in civil court shall be filed for
wrongful dismissal and remedy sought.
Email thread – Exhibit 6
9. The Coalition is an exclusive club with membership ability predicated solely upon your decision alone and with no method of appeal.
· Wilcox failed to clearly identify the members of the Coalition's executive of which there has been no less than fifty (50) persons come and go over the Coalition’s short two (2) year existence which is a clear indication of
administrative instability; and
· Wilcox failed to maintain a membership registry identifying paid-in full members with voting rights; and
· Wilcox failed hold an annual general meeting and have failed to hold elections for office.
Legal action in civil court shall be filed for
abuse of authority and
corporate misconduct and remedy sought.
UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT
10. BC Law Society Professional Code of Conduct Rule 1- taking advantage of the patient's ill-health and Wilcox's lack of education and experience and un-business-like practices.
· Conroy had adequate time and opportunity to choose from many highly qualified candidates across Canada to partner-up with as the Coalition's representative and chose to partner-up with Wilcox in the joint-personal representative solicitor-client relationship that results from Conroy acting as the trustee of the Coalition's trust fund.
· Conroy retained Wilcox as his sole client in the Allard action in spite of having the choice of many highly qualified candidates at the founding meeting and, being the President of NORML Canada, Conroy had a choice from across Canada.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
· Conroy refused to take calls or respond to emails from members of the Coalition’s Steering Committee and from volunteers who wanted to express their concerns about Wilcox’s corporate misconduct. The only time that Conroy responded to one of my many emails is when I related concerns expressed at the founding meeting that Conroy represented both penniless patients and LP's hopefuls, who have buckets of money. Conroy claimed that the BC Law Society Code of Professional Conduct and his 'professionalism' would ensure that he represented fully and fairly each client's best interests. Time and the failed Allard Action leaving out no less than 50% of MMAR licence holders has acted as an indicator of the truth.
