"Agents from the Canadian Human Rights Commission"

The equivalent of Stalin's thought police. I'm sure this is a tool Obama's socialist regime will use against Americans too. The demoncrats are shooting for Limbaugh and FOX News now, but they want all conservatives muzzled. Ain't liberalism grand. Good luck to you and Connie. God bless.

Thank you, Jim.

The State hates and fears what it cannot control.

The law under which we were attacked by the Canadian Human Rights Commission has since been repealed, in part due to its unmerited attack against Free Dominion, so now the censors are using defamation law as a sword to silence political opinion.

We will now be working to have defamation laws updated or completely repealed.

The censors in Canada are like the Borg, but resistance is not futile.

Your story is horrifying. It makes Canada seem more like China, North Korea, or Iran.

Stay strong. You and Connie have much to be proud of and I'm honored to know you.

Any chance of appeal to a higher court or was that the final?

We will be appealing, but until the injunction against us is gone we have to keep Free Dominion closed. Any troll could register at Free Dominion, post forbidden words, take a screen shot and we would go direct to jail. If we took down the post immediately it wouldn't help us at all.

The judge in this case didn't rule, "You must immediately shut down Free Dominion," but the effect of his ruling is exactly the same as if he had used those words.

They can’t say without getting arrested. Tyranny is running rampant everywhere.

In Ontario, defamation is anything that is remotely negative about someone.

It's coming to the US. Just look at the travesty of the Michael Mann/Mark Steyn case.

Sad commentary, that.

Thank you, Jim. I’m sure you know you have been a huge inspiration to us over the years, and I’m grateful that, so far, you have managed to keep the wolves at bay!

We’re all in this together!

I think they didn't like the politics of the Fourniers plain and simple.

Yup. It is open season on forums and bloggers in Canada now.

Maybe it’s time to post remarks that you know will get you attacked and libeled on sites like the Huffington Post, Moveon.org, The Daily Kos and every other one you can think of. Then ask for $5,000 from each site for each post. You’ll either make a lot of money or the liberal sites would shut down. Or a constitutional judge would throw the cases out which would be a victory for free speech.

“Just missed your post...I’d thought the same thing. Thanks for sending.”

It is easy enough to submit to Drudge. I think the more people that submit the Ottawa Citizen article, the more likely it is that Drudge will run with it.

“I guess we have our answer.”

For a Canada hosted website, yes.

This is outrageous. It was already outrageous that anonymous posters were outed.

Which means in the US you have actual free speech. We don’t have that in Canada.

Our website is hosted in Panama.

Unfortunately, we live in Canada. :-(

Thanks for the welcome!

That’s it — put it in the form of a question.
