Wow, I was a member of the Free Dominion. When ever FR shut down I would go there to surf and discuss things.

[Ray76]

He he - post comments on government sites and get those sites shut down. Turnabout is fair play. Shut their apparatus down.

As of today, January 23, 2014, and after 13 years online, Free Dominion is closing its doors to the public. We have been successfully censored.

Please click here to donate to our appeal fund!

Today, Ontario Superior Court Justice Robert Smith issued an order in the Richard Warman vs Mark and Connie Fournier and John Does defamation case heard September, 2013. In addition to ordering that we must pay Warman $127,000, Justice Smith issued an injunction against us ordering we that never publish, or allow to be published, anything negative about Richard Warman. This means we are barred for life from ever operating a public forum or a blog (even about cookie recipes) where the public can comment. If we do so, any one of Warman’s handful of supporters could, and probably would, use a common proxy server to avoid being traced, plant a negative comment about Warman on our site, and we would both be charged with contempt of court. If that happened --unlike in the Ottawa courtroom where we were blocked at every turn from presenting a defense-- we actually would have no defense. We would both go to jail. This life sentence was imposed for our terrible crimes of voicing our honestly held beliefs and allowing others to do the same. Defamation law, in its current state, is entirely inadequate and counterproductive when applied to the internet. Now it is being used as a tool of censorship. Effectively!

We are assessing our options.

In faith,
Mark and Connie Fournier

God bless and keep you all.

I knew your site from backhoe.

[fatima]

Sorry to hear that Connie ((((Hugs)))))

[Jim Robinson]

I’m very sorry, Connie. Shame on the freedom-hating socialist/totalitarian bastards of the world. So much for the socialist utopia. “Liberal,” my ass.

[GeronL]

I hope they all join FR

[McGruff]

So if I said this guy looks like a Nazi

would I be in trouble? Just asking.

[WashingtonSource]

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

[SoFloFreeper]

Is this forum going to be targeted in a similar way? I hope not!

[<1/1,000,000th%]

So who is suing the left-wing sites?

[WashingtonSource]

Is Warman a radical homosexual activist?

[Uncle Miltie]

Were the defamatory statements true?

See tagline for example.

[2harddrive]

What exactly were the “defamatory” statements? And is TRUTH not a defense in Canada?

[Uncle Miltie]

Warman fits my definition of A$$#0LE.

It seems the best political pressure that can be applied form this end is letters to the ministry or head of tourism on both local and national Canadian offices stating a cancellation or changing of travel plans for the upcoming and any future Canadian tourism seasons. One should state clearly the reason as being fear of retribution criminal or otherwise for any opinions or comments made during a visit while inside the Canadian jurisdiction.

Now a warning to all here in the U.S. Be careful what you wish for here. Beware of programs falling under the disguise of security. Remember it was GW Bush who had an U.S. attorney general who wanted to start and keep databases on all our online and other communications. Beware of so called regional unions or agreements made binding one nation to another.

In the United States the Constitution of the United States is the limitations of government and as well states our rights and freedoms. It should never be subject to or subordinate to any treaties, agreements, unions, or other entanglements surrendering Constitutional rightful protections & national sovereignty. Those wishing to subvert this no matter who they are or what party or reasoning they claim are TYRANTS! They are practicing Marxism.

[Liberty Valance]

Just dang. Sorry to hear this. FD was a great site.

[machogirl]

Time for Conservatives with pockets (lawyers) to fight back and do the same thing to libberal sites.

[Whats-wrong-with-the-truth]

Soon... Very soon our ruling oligarchy (U.S. Supreme Court) will be citing this Canadian court ruling as precedent when ruling to shut down conservative American forums.
