EKN on rahvus-poliitiline organisatsioon. See tähendab, et tema mandaat on tegutseda Eesti huvides siin Kanadas.
Hilisaegu on aetud segi mitme organisatsiooni eesmärgid.

EKN = rahvuspoliitiline (lobbying government, organizing political rallies, such as Black Ribbon Day & Balti kett) etc.

Eesti Liit Kanadas = umbrella organization for the various Estonian Canadian societies and organizations (as of late, EKN's mandate has been confused with ELK's)

Eesti Selts = most cities and towns have their Eesti Selts, whos function is to organize functions, Esto Schools ... bring the community together.

EKN to me represents the combined efforts of all Estonians communities in Toronto or elsewhere in Canada. It is a non-political organisation which has never affiliated itself with no other directive but for the interest of Estonians in exile. 90 years which we acknowledged on the 24th of February in Toronto at the Estonian House was but a small part of the overall world wide celebrations which took place. It pains me to hear that we still take exception to the same things: “the entertainment was to long”;
“the meat was to tough”; “the knives were not sharp enough”; “and the ceiling was leaking”. My father has turned over in his grave.

Oleme Eestlased.

Kaxs keegi on küsinud Peter Van Loani käest miks ta sõns ei võtnud. Küsige, siis ehk saate teada milles asi on. Markus, kade oled võ? Oled vales parteis niikuinii! Maxim kas Eesti keeles kirjutada ei oska? Oled eestluse kõige suurem vaenlane!
