Rabbi Weiss and the Jews United Agaisnt Zionism made international headlines recently after participating in the Holocaust Myth Conference in Tehran. Rabbi Weiss was photographed shaking hands with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

For this stunt, he was recently excommunicated by the Chief Rabbi in Israel.

There is an old Greek term: "Well educated but lacks wisdom". This term applies to Rabbi Weiss. To advocate the destruction of Israel is nonsense. It lacks an understanding of history and confirms a lack of wisdom.

In the common law an impartial and fair judge is essential to the administration of justice. Recently the Canadian Judicial Council issued a statement calling upon judges to help unrepresented litigants. This is a dangerous first step as it will become increasingly difficult in our adversarial system to draw the line.

This is the worst case scenario forced upon our courts by government underfunding of legal aid. In civil cases, save and except for family matters, it is almost impossible to get legal aid. Cases with merit do not proceed as the risks and costs are prohibitive. Access to justice is essential to a free and domocratic society.

Phase I: Canadian forces with assistance of US Marines establish Girls' Orghanage and School for Disabled Kids in Afghanistan with the help of The Toronto Times and AHEPA

The Toronto Times in association with AHEPA and the Canadian forces representative Lt. Commander Albert Wong (with assistance from US marines who volunteered their time and skilled labour) has raised funds and built a girls' orphanage and a school for disabled kids (first such school in Afghanistan) in Kabul. Without the Canadian army none of these projects would be possible. There are 200,000 disabled kids in Afghanistan who still need help. Lt. Commander Wong and the Canadian forces received an award of excellence for their work from the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

Phase II : New initiatives for the south

The Toronto Times and AHEPA are now looking forward to working with our troops to expand to the Khandahar area which offers exciting opportunities for humanitarian work.

Toronto lawyer William Tatsiou has personally offered to fund at least one more project near Khandahar on behalf of AHEPA. "We are all blessed to live in this Great Coutry. Our troops are the best," stated Tatsiou. "We should all do as much as we can to help them".

Sex, wealth, power and the Law: George Hunter

Update report: George Hunter pleaded guilty to professional misconduct and was suspended for a few months. He is the first Treasurer to be suspended. His fall from grace was due to a conflict of interest and a sexual relationship with a client. He was having affairs with several women.

He is not the first nor will he be the last man to fall over sex allegations. Most men have difficulty drawing the line and cannot easily avoid sexual temptation. In his case much more was expected as he was the leader of all Ontario Lawyers and was expected to set an example.

The New Treasurer Gavin McKenzie, is a well respected leader who is now the "Boss"of Ontario lawyers. He has written the book on Lawyers' ethics. He is widely respected and loved by most members of the legal profession including members of the public. He has the credibility and respect to get lawyers back on track. He is a leading light in the legal community.

Sex, wealth and power do not always mix well. The former treasurer of the Law Society of Upper Canada, George Hunter, a very powerful and wealthy establishment lawyer, is facing a misconduct hearing over an alleged 2 1/2 year sexual affair with a client.
