I’d like to thank the lefties who supported democracy which cannot function without free speach during this.
I can sleep knowing I did the right thing, send sleeping pills to Taylor. However I wish this had been smashed now it’ll lurk over every bloggers head unresolved, but I’m sure ‘they’ didn’t like the way the Canadian blogs all posted it.
Human rights tribunals are a joke, if Connie or Mark had done anything wrong they should have gone to court. However knocking them for something someone else posted on their blog is mental. ANd the remarks were “true” what kind of country doen’t allow the truth as protection? Canada….

Raising a stink gets results once again — congratulations on all the bloggers who took part in the campaign to Free Free Dominion.And shame on the rest of you “conservative” bloggers for being too cowardly and careerist to take part. You know who you are and you should be ashamed.

Wonder who she’s talking about?
“Blogging Tories are pathetic, cowardly weenie-heads”
Just a moderator’s note: Please do not repost material from FreeDominion that is the subject of the CHRC complaint. Doing so exposes us, and this warning serves as clear notice that we will pursue civil action against anyone that in turn exposes us to CHRC action related to this complaint against FreeDominion.
Translation: here’s a warning that says if you get us in trouble with the CHRC for material we’ve warned you not to post, we will do what we can to recover our damages (from you) because this warning also indicates that as moderators and site owners, that we don’t want to have anything to do with the material that lands a person (rightly or wrongly — which is another debate) with a human rights complaint.
We think that a country is freer with true free speech and the Canadian laws are not ideal. Regardless, imperfect as they are, we must comply with them and we’d ask that you do the same.
Also, please do not post the name of the complainant or any information about her as there are specific laws against harassment that we must be aware of as well.
