These words seem nice for a movie. But it would turn ugly in reality. I'm not saiyng these judges are sacrosanct. But when people take law in their own hands, they either go on a killing spree or follow orders from their leader ( and who is to say that the leader will be a just person)? http://dvctfxxbm.com [url=http://tyhqlohail.com]tyhqlohail[/url] [link=http://nwcbtj.com]nwcbtj[/link]

Dear Members of the Yaremko Family, I wish to express my deepest condolences on the loss of your brother and uncle John. As you struggle with the profound sense of loss you are experiencing, it is my sincere hope that the thoughts and prayers of family, friends, members of the Ukrainian Canadian community, members of other ethnocultural communities, and the broader Canadian community will comfort you during this time of grieving and sorrow. The passing of John represents a major loss for the Province of Ontario, Canada and especially for Ukrainian Canadians. John dedicated twenty-five years of his life to public service in Ontario. Everyone has tremendous respect for what he accomplished as a parliamentarian and Minister of the Crown in Ontario. However, his active public service continued for decades after he retired from elected office. Together with his late wife Mary Yaremko, the Yaremko’s have envisioned and funded legacy projects in a string of institutions of higher learning in Canada and Ukraine. On a personal note, my first recollections of John were when I was a young boy of 6 or 7. I remember well John’s annual visits to my grandmother in the apartment above our bakery. Every Easter, John would arrive with a bouquet of Easter Lilies for my grandmother. He never forgot the first time that he came to meet with my grandmother during his very first campaign. During that first visit my grandmother allowed him to put up his campaign signs across the bakery fence fronting on Queen Street. As he was the first Ukrainian Canadian to run for the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, she of course said yes. In the following days, a group of hooligans knocked down the fence along with the Yaremko signs. John came to my grandmother to apologize and offering to fix the fence. She refused and told him to leave the fence lying on the ground for the duration of the campaign. It was the election in which for the first time a Ukrainian Canadian, a “DP”, was elected to public office in Ontario I will also remember fondly the innumerable encouragements from John as I embarked on my pursuit of public office. Just a couple of months ago he astutely noted to me that I carried an additional political burden in that I respected my heritage. I am convinced that just as Mr. Yaremko played a role in our family’s political integration in Canada, there are innumerable other families with similar memories. His good acts will continue through the many Yaremko education initiatives. Our hearts go out to his surviving family, Вічна Йому Пам'ять Borys Wrzesnewskyj, M.P. Etobicoke Centre

Dear Yaremko Family, Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of a great Canadian Ukrainian whose dedicated public service and involvement in community projects were duly appreciated by his contemporaries and will be remembered for the generations to come. Honourable John Yaremko was a bright example of how relentless work of one person may benefit the lives of thousands. Well-known philanthropist and passionate promoter of social justice, he will as well be remembered by hundreds of Ukrainian university students for his long-standing support of Canada Ukraine Parliamentary Program as it was also thanks to his support that the students managed to visit Canada and observe the operation of democratic institutions of the country, some of them being privileged to meet Honourable John Yaremko personally.

The Hon. John Yaremko was a truly great Canadian, renowned for his intellect, integrity, sense of social justice, and generosity. The John Yaremko Chair in Ukrainian Studies at the University of Toronto will be inaugurated this fall at his Alma Mater. The Chair will keep alive in perpetuity Mr Yaremko's legacy of leadership in the Ukrainian-Canadian community. That legacy, moreover, will endure in many other institutions that he touched, and in the memories of many who were inspired by his lifetime of public service and good works. On behalf of the University of Toronto, I send our condolences to Mr Yaremko's family. Sincerely David Naylor, President, The University of Toronto

He is now home with the love of his life, his late wife Myroslava and may they both rest in peace together. Vichnaya Pamyat!
