Lawyer criticizes judge's 'poisonous' remarks

Monday 29 October 2007
An outspoken Ontario Court of Appeal judge, Mr. Justice Michael Moldaver, was accused yesterday of using poisonous terminology in a personal campaign to ''prune the Charter with an axe.''Prominent Toronto defence lawyer William Trudell levelled the accusation during a speech to about 200 criminal lawyers who have been quietly stewing since Judge Moldaver publicly disparaged the defence bar in two speeches of his own for wasting time and court resources with needless legal motions.

It's time to pay the piper, Toronto

Monday 29 October 2007
Contrary to the pain you may be feeling in your pocket, Toronto actually became a bit of a bargain in 2007. Last year, Canada's most expensive metropolis was the 47th-costliest city on the planet in which to live, according to the Mercer Human Resources' annual cost-of-living survey. By the middle of this year, though, T.O. had tumbled in world rankings, coming up for duty at No. 82. That may earn envious glances from people trying to make ends meet in the world's most expensive locales - Moscow, London, Seoul and Tokyo.
