The above news article is Free Dominion's first recognition in a major Canadian newspaper. The floodgates are about to open. It appears Free Dominion will not be a taboo subject in Canadian publications as Free Republic is in American media organs.

We have done a radio and newspaper interview this week and there are more to follow. We have been informed their will be nationwide media coverage of the "Storm the Bastille" rally as this is a very hot issue in Canada at this time.

Our speakers will include several Members of Parliament (the Canadian equivalent of Congressmen) a national level columnist, a vice president of a grain growers association, and two of the farmers who were jailed for selling grain on the free market. Additional high profile speakers are confirming on a daily basis.

We are expecting a great turnout.

Free Dominion’s Entropy Squared on the Rutherford show today!

Open Line

Entropy Squared: I’m with the website freedominion.ca

Dave Rutherford: freedominion.ca

Entropy Squared: And we are organising a rally on Parliament Hill for this Monday at noon.

Dave Rutherford: Isn’t that called Storm the Bastille?

Entropy Squared: Storm the Bastille, you got it!

Dave Rutherford: So this is a rally, noon eastern, on Parliament Hill.

Entropy Squared: On Parliament Hill, right. We’ve got quite a line-up of speakers and it’s growing every day. We’ve got MPs Peter Goldring, Myron Thompson, Darrel Stinson and Art Hanger. We’ve got more coming in too. We’re working on a couple of leaders too; it’s looking pretty good for. Also speaking will be columnist Howard Galganov and Doug McBain who’s the vice president of the Western Barley Growers Association.

And a few of the farmers who were jailed in Lethbridge are coming out to speak, they are deciding amongst themselves who they will be sending. And we think its going to last about two hours.

Dave Rutherford: And the idea is to obviously get as many people as possible and as loud and as noisy a demonstration as you can. To talk about one desk selling, the Wheat Board Monopoly, right?

Entropy Squared: Yes, most times these protests are totally anti, but we want to make a proactive stance as well. The standing committee on agriculture, which was actually Liberal dominated, put forth a number of recommendations and recommendation number 14 was that there would be a trial period, where farmers, grain growers could opt to either work through the CWB or market on their own. As a test. And we are calling for the Liberals to implement recommendation 14 and allow it to happen. Let’s give it a try. Let’s do something proactive. We’re in a horrible situation here where innocent people are being put into jail for crimes for trying to work on the free market.

Dave Rutherford: You made a good pitch for the rally; let’s hope that there is some impact. We’ll cover it when it happens, thanks for the notifying us Mark. Appreciate it!

Entropy Squared: Thank you very much Dave.

Dave Rutherford: Thank you very much. That’s Monday, noon eastern, on Parliament Hill. A protest in support of the farmers and against a monopoly to market their grain.

We are back tomorrow. I am Dave Rutherford. See you then.

Your government will declare you a hate site and shut you down, be prepared.

[barker]

<...The rally, nicknamed Storm the Bastille,

Love it. Go Canada! Good luck.

[Republic]

GO CANADA!

[conniew]

Your government will declare you a hate site and shut you down, be prepared.

That's why we have our site hosted on a server in the States. We're are prepared.

[John Lenin]

Cool, they will have to extradite the servers from the states. lol

[conniew]

That's right! And I have the feeling that our PM (even though he isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer) would find it a little uncomfortable to have to go crawling to your Republican government for help in shutting us down. ;-)

Most excellent!!!

This news comes on the heels of the National Review that arrived in my mailbox today.
It had the article (by Jonah Goldberg?) on the anti-Americanism in Canada.
I haven't read it yet, but this is very encouraging!!

[Constitution Day]

I'm registered on your site.
This reminds me that I need to go check it out again.

KEEP HAMMERING.
