Free Dominion is a Canadian conservative website. It was inspired by Free Republic in the United States, and some members contribute to both sites. The site used the phrase "Principled Conservativism" to describe its ideology. The lead moderators and former owners of the site were Mark and Connie Fournier. Fournier ran in the 2007 Ontario Election for the Freedom Party of Ontario〔(View topic - Mark Fournier Accepts Freedom Party Nomination :: Free Dominion - Principled Conservative - Party and Canadian Politics - Canada Blogs )〕 On December 31, 2005, Free Dominion made news when one of its frequent contributors, Gordon Stamp, resigned as Peter Goldring's campaign manager as a result of comments Stamp had posted on Free Dominion about being open to Alberta separatism under certain circumstances.〔http://www.cbc.ca/story/canadavotes2006/national/2005/12/31/elxn-goldring051231.html CBC News, December 31, 2005〕 Goldring was subsequently quoted saying that Free Dominion is "extreme" in its views.〔〔http://www.edmontonsun.com/News/Alberta/2005/12/31/1374452-sun.html Source: ''Edmonton Sun'', December 31, 2005〕 In early 2008, the website was sold to Liberty News Service in Panama. ==Human rights complaint== Free Dominion and Connie and Mark Fournier were the target of regular lawsuits.
