Tories, Red Tories, and other moderate conservatives are not generally welcome on the site, and users consistently posting comments contrary to the viewpoints of the forum's owners are banned from further posting.

The foremost federal political party supported is the Conservative Party, but supporters for smaller conservative parties participate as well. There have been a small number of contributors who are linked to far-right extremist groups.
seem to be in conflict, as "Tory" is a colloquial term for "supporter of the Conservative Party of Canada". GCarty 09:04, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Colloquial it may be, but that does not make it correct from a philosophical or historical point-of-view. Tory and Red Tory have a much different meaning than the warmed-over Republicanism of the CPC. See the Tory and Red Tory articles in Wikipedia. As well, I am a life-long and seventh-generation Canadian Conservative who rejects the new-conservative ideology of the CPC. There are many more like me. That is why Harper cannot get a majority, and continues to struggle in Ontario and the East.TrulyTory 13:18, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conservatives versus Tories 

message: This is about the unncessary and unjustified demand for citation for this paragraph:
"A fringe element of contributors have been linked to far-right extremist groups, and some of the more controversial posts have incuded holocaust denial, advocacy of violence, racial jokes and hatred against Muslims and homosexuals. Some users who have made overtly racist comments, used offensive language in posts, or promoted violence have been banned from posting.[1] Others have been tolerated or defended by the moderators. [citation]",
There are examples of this kind of stuff all the time on the Free Dominion forum. Anyone who denies this is ignorant or a liar. The recent thread on White Nationalism is a perfect example of that. The  long-gone threads by Pity Sing about Olivia Chow, which were full of disgusting racism and sexism, were defended by the site owners as humourous. Almost every single thread on Muslims or gays also displauys a lot of bigotry and hatred.
Besides, a link to a particular thread might end up being useless later on, because the moderators have a habit of deleting entire threads that turn out to be embarassing after awhile. Either that, or the thread might disappear the next time the site crashes, which seems to be every few months.
:It's not an "unnecessary and unjustified demand for citation". It's Wikipedia policy. If the link becomes useless later on because the thread has been deleted, then any mention of it must be deleted from Wikipedia. Otherwise we'll have no way to verify it. Please brush up on Wikipedia policy. --Cyberboomer 22:04, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Unnecessary demands for citation

message: Some superfluous and unnecessary paragraphs pertaining to content on Free Dominion has been deleted.  Some paragraphs do not need as detailed explanations as posted.  This is in the interests of maintaining a neutral POV.

thread_title: Neutral POV

message: I understand how some people might view the current stable version as being anti-FD, and I'll admit that I agree to some extent, but it is important to write a neutral article instead of replacing one POV with another.
Correcting the article is more productive as it keeps the links, both internal and external.  An unsourced text with no sources and no internal links cannot be described as a progress in any case.  — ABCXYZ (talk) 17:45, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Recent attempts at rewriting

message: I'm not going to edit it myself for obvious reasons, but there are some errors in the Free Dominion page.
First, it should be clarified that it was Mark Fournier, not Connie Fournier who ran for the Freedom Party in the Ontario election several years ago.
Also, there were five lawsuits, not two.  And, the details are all mixed up between the two that are described in the article.
Richard Warman filed a defamation lawsuit against Free Dominion, Ezra Levant, the National Post and others. The other defendants have settled, but the Fourniers are still fighting it and expect a trial shortly.
Richard Warman and Warren Kinsella filed a defamation lawsuit against Free Dominion in 2008 and nothing has happened with it since.
Richard Warman filed a defamation lawsuit against Free Dominion and several John Does.  That case was heard and the jury found for Richard Warman.  It is currently under appeal and will likely be heard by the Ontario Court of Appeal in the fall of 2015.
Richard Warman and the National Post filed a copyright lawsuit in Federal Court against Free Dominion.  Free Dominion won that lawsuit and they appealed, then dropped it just before the appeal was set to be heard.
John Baglow (aka Dr. Dawg) filed a defamation lawsuit against Free Dominion and Roger Smith.  It was dismissed on a summary judgment, appealed, sent back for a full trial, and decided in favour of Free Dominion.
The details in the article about Justice Kershman have to do with a motion within the John Doe case.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Connie Fournier (talk • contribs) 02:05, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Errors in the Free Dominion page 

message: There were actually four lawsuits with Richard Warman (three for defamation and one for copyright). There was another one with John Baglow.
All of the lawsuit details are mixed up in the article.  I don't think it is appropriate for me to edit the article myself, but the sections should either be deleted, or I can provide accurate information to someone if they want to fix it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by ConnieJFournier (talk • contribs) 21:57, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
