Screw the Leafs..put a Canadiens' CH on it instead!

Thanks for this good news post.

You brave conservatives up north are doing a great job!

This is just another prime example of the importance of Free Republic.

One can only imagine if we had Free Republic Franchises in Iran, Iraq, Syria and other hell holes. If it works in Canada, it might even work in France. I'm sure the conservative Brits could make it a success in the UK.

Invest 17 cents a day/$5/month in Free Republic and reach out all over the world with the conservative/capitalism message. Who needs the UN when we have Free Republic.

big bump and best wishes. You've got a tough road ahead. But FR shows we're not powerless either (impeachment, Battle for Floriduh, etc.).

You can win!

Congrats and good luck to Free Dominion. It's an excellent site.

The international influence isn't bounded by the oceans. Jakarta-ExPat, I think, is a brit living in Jakarta and fully supports the work of Free Republic. There is more than one Aussie who posts here. I like in a southeast asian country. I don't think I really count, though, as I am an American and an Alabamian.

Free Republic is changing the thinking and standards of the whole world.

LOL, BobJ! FReepers are more than welcome to send their kids to our bootcamp...about half of the kids over there are American, anyway. :-)

I love the word dominion. Reminds me of some of my favorite verses and chapters in the Bible, including the following, which describes what the world government will soon look like under Christ's dominion and rule.

Psalm 72
1 Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
16 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.

Terrific news and kudos to FD!!!

And thank you for saving Canada :-)

[headsonpikes]

Indeed, it was verse 8 of this psalm which provided the 'Dominion' and Canada's motto, 'A mare usque ad mare'(from sea to sea).

I saw this thread on the FR sidebar and decided to drop in. Best of luck to our neighbors to the North!
