As an Alaskan, next door neighbors to our friends in the Yukon who are mostly liberty lovers like most of us in Alaska, this is really great news. Don’t want to leave out Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba (not so much BC).

As I remember, you (Connie) are from Alberta, right?

I’ll be dropping by to register. God bless.

I am from Ontario, but I have family in Alberta. :-)

Unfortunately, Free Dominion ran into some difficulties that I can't really talk about without putting myself at risk (you can find other threads here that detail our adventures, though). Ultimately, with great sadness, we had to close our doors in 2016.

 

God Bless you Connie. I well remember the reasons why you had to stop Free Dominion. But if you don't care to bring up the past, then I won't either.

I'll just hope that basic freedoms return to Canada some day. As well as here in the US.

I don’t mind if you bring it up. I just can’t because the Court said I can’t. :-)

Great to see you again!

My bad to have left out Ontario. Having traveled through the western provinces I mentioned so many times, from top to bottom, I naturally can’t comment on anything east of Manitoba.

I’m sure there are many such as yourself in those provinces.

Hey, you could BE that guy if you want to! Hahaha!
I'm not sure if american humor fails to translate to canookistan, or if you're just smarter then me. or, perhaps, once again, I'm just the only one that thinks that was funny.

Hi Connie, I hope all is good with you. I know we all lost touch with the great difficulties we all faced. And I have been banned by my wife from ever going to facebook. Her concerns were our family, her job, my job.

We both know the left likes to stalk us to punish us for free speech.

So I hope FD becomes a safe place to exchange ideas.

I’m wondering if you should have your sites physically based outside Canada, and administered by a non-Canadian who the Canadian government cannot touch?

I loved your site as a backup to Free Republic.

I’ve never been a big fan of Facebook.

As I person in business for myself, I don’t do politics on Facebook. I just don’t.

So in this case, I don’t want to post anything on the Facebook Free Republic group, at least with my real name. Hell, I’m happy to take a liberal’s or leftist’s money as much as the next guy! I’d hate to lose a client over politics.

I did think it was funny! Was just joking that we don’t have a guy that does that yet. If you want to be him, the position is open! LOL!

The server is outside of Canada. We looked into having a non-Canadian run it, but nobody we talked to wanted to take the risk. It is totally understandable because it is a lot to risk to take on for someone else’s country.

So, I guess we stand up again and see how long it is before they shoot us down.

It is so great to see you!!

We are going to do our best to make FD as safe as possible. We will keep as little information as possible, and would encourage people to sign up using disposable email addresses if they want to do that.

We have also told former members not to feel like they have to use their old usernames if they don’t want to.

Facebook is a terrible place to discuss politics. People post their lame memes, and if you so much as question them, they act like you just insulted their mother. I hate it.
