Conservative MP calls Free Dominion 'extreme' but spoke at its banquet

In the aftermath of Psycho/Stamp's resignation, the Edmonton Sun interviewed Conservative MP Peter Goldring (here). Naturally, Goldring distanced himself from Stamp's separatist sympathies. He also commented on the site at which Stamp made these posts:
'Goldring called Free Dominion "extreme" in its views.'
One might ask how he knows this. It might have something to do with Goldring's speech to Free Dominion banquet several years ago, a speech that's still available on his website:

I think you're being unfair to Peter Goldring, Buckets. Why shouldn't he speak at the Free Dominion banquet, considering Mark Fournier (the homophobic "Entropy Squared" of co-owner of FD) is his previous campaign manager?

However does Goldring manage to consistently find men of such dubious character to run his campaigns? And how believable is it that he knew nothing of Stamp's views given his own close ties to FreeDominion?

"take a moment to recognize my fellow Members of Parliment in attendance tonight"

Interesting to know who else was there, and does this speak to close ties to the party?

Dirk, Connie Wilkins and Mark Fournier have not changed their views over the years.

Mind you, Peter Goldring is quite extreme himself, particularly on marriage. He's just a bit smarter in how he expresses his extremist views than the folks on FD.
