It warms my heart as I see these fine people getting some of the recognition that they richly deserve.

I'm also glad to see that it was done properly this year.

Kas luuserid on ka siin hulgas? Pidevalt kritiseeritakse seda organisatsiooni, aga nüüd võiks sadada medalid nendele kaela! What gives, folks?? Miks siis oldakse Rüütli vastu kui tema jagab must miljon teenemärki?????

The group-photo doesn't do these people justice. They deserve individual photos with a brief synopsis of their contribution to our community because, without them, we would exist in an impoverished form.

It seems very clear that you would like the shape the future of the Canadian Estonian community according to your own vision. That's fine by me, as long as you're willing to tow the line a bit more, and show a little more interest in doing something useful for our community. I understand that you don't particularly like ideas and opinions that aren't in line with your own, and perhaps that may be a good thing in the long run if that's what it takes to pull our community together and for you to put forward a new vision for us. You seem to encourage a lot of people here, and I think that it would help others if you were to take on a more visible role within our various organizations. Your comments certainly point to a very healthy regard for mstters Estonian.
