Captain's Quarters, a US based blog,has been publishing daily information from testimony at the Gomery Comission. That commission is investigating the Adscam scandal,where over $100 millions were diverted from the liberal Government to liberal operatives over a period of a few years.The particular testimony of one witness is thaught to be so inflammatory that a publication ban was issued on the the said testimony.It is believed that the revelations could bring down the liberal government and force a snap election. Captain's Quarters ,not subject to the ban,has been publishing the details and consequently his site has been flooded by canadians trying to get information. The Canadian government is threatening legal action against any media that publishes either the name of the blogger or a link to his site.
What? No linkee?
They weren't trying to crash the servers -- probably just loggin in to find out how much we knew. Back then, FR's servers didn't need any outside help in crashing.
Here is a good link I've found to get up to speed on the scandal: http://www.windsofchange.net/archives/006611.php
I was able to get on this morning. I think it was this morning or very late last night.
It was sort of like Memphis's expressway system - Upgraded for last years traffic. We were growing like MAD
They're begging for a cross-border hack war if they really did this.
Tee hee. I love the Internet. Couldn't some other people who host underutilized websites set up mirror sites, to soak up the traffic?
Sorry I am html impaired.But I am anxious to see if the access problem is related to canadian servers or not.
Exactly what I was thinking
Nah, our government isn't taking it down. It's just insane levels of Canadian individual traffic.
As soon as there is a publication ban, we *gotta* know what the fuss is about. In this case, government corruption with hints of mob involvement was just too much. My grandma will be checking it out soon I bet ;)
That site is going to go down due to legitimate interest - ALL of the Canadian papers (and most of the American ones) mentioned CQ today. Cache it now.
I have linked his site several times with no probs
I don't think they want to go there. Amen.
Smalldeadanimals did mention a lot of traffic from government sources.
The google cache is not working now.
Did you link today?I was wondering if he has updated the info from the testimony of yesterday.

That's exactly how it is for us now.
If there are any generous, intrigued, connected Conservatives out there who might fund freedominion.ca , . . . . . . .
I hit it instantly just now. Refreshed to make sure. It seems all good.
Freerepublic rocks - still - with knowing the skinny on EVERYTHING!
Don't be thinking Canada is FREE - Dr. Laura is banned there for her opinions about gay marriage...
