Thank you for writing/sharing your thoughts.

Well said. I definitely miss the E-Store and believe the instant notice is illegal according to Canadian law. Especially since rent was paid for the winter months. The board seems to be desperate in their need to cause dissonance in the community.

For what it's worth, I will include an excerpt from Myrna Kostach's book, "All of Baba's Children". Myrna Kostach was born in Edmonton, a second-generation Ukrainian-Canadian, and is a free-lance writer living in Edmonton, Alberta. Her excerpt resonates very strongly with our own Toronto Estonian community's struggle with surviving in the melting pot of a multicultural Canada.
"It is sometimes ridiculous to see a young professional man or woman, trained in all the advances of scientific thought, insist that his children celebrate the old pagan Christmas and Easter customs, whose origins go back far into the most primitive kind of pagan life. For older people, living on the land, these customs had significance- they were connected with their life on soil, with the harvest and planting. In the new country, these customs were the only link they had with life in the old country. But for the younger generation, a sort of romantic nostalgia coupled with the stigma of the word "foreigner" sometimes causes them to take refuge in a narrow nationalism whose pride is the perpetuation of the old culture... Nevertheless, for most of the younger generation, these customs belong on the stage, in books, not in everyday practice."

I particularly like A. H. Tammsaare's "Põrgupõhja uus Vanapagan"- where he states ( I will paraphrase)- "There are people who call themselves Christians, but don't act like Christians, and then there are people who don't consider themselves Christians, but act like Christians."
Ja siis on teine Tammsaare tarkusetera-
"Inimene on ju niisuke, et valeta talle kas või kõige hullem asi ette, kohe usub, aga katsu tõtt rääkida – kahtleb, pinnib, uurib, nõuab tunnistajaid"
