This isn’t going to help anything. Canada is not suited to fringe parties, all this will do is taking votes away from the parties that are not the Conservative coalition so they stay in power next time.

Boo, Pirate Party of Canada. Fuck off, we don’t need another group splintering our already broken political system.

GO CANADA.

Poor thing here in Brazil people are just 10+ years late.
Even if copyright isn’t an issue yet (we have too many already anyway), freedom of speech was always hunted down in Brazil.

Some politics have started to notice the power da’interwebs has, and I guess in 3~10 years they will start trying to ban it somehow.

I’m 18 and on College, much to learn yet. Maybe someday I can help.

Good luck, mateys

Registered, and mail in my form. Thanks to the founders for setting this all up, the key now is to SPREAD THE WORD. Print out a few forms, and get a few of your friends to fill them out, even mail it on their behalf if you think they are that lazy.

It does NOT mean they are now obligated to vote for them, it just acknowledges that a decent amount of Canadian citizens are interested in establishing this as an official political party…

I like the idea and all but as we have seen with the Green Party, one trick pony parties just don’t anywhere in Canada. The only exception is the Bloc and most them are ex-Liberals and PCs that have an overblown sense of entitlement.

Like the Green Party they might get some reaction from main three parties but I don’t think it will be even a blip on the radar.

@ WTF!!!!
Hotspot shield is adware driven. Of course it’s pinging TWTC servers, it’s looking for ads. That said, read the TOS. “We may disclose User information if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws (such as U.S. Copyright law) or respond to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena, or warrant.”

I can’t find anything linking the software company behind Hotspot Shield, AnchorFree, to Time Warner but that doesn’t mean anything.

@37 I voted for NDP solely for their fair use/net neutrality views in the last election… of course living in Alberta they lost by a factor of 10.

Voting for the PPoC – in my case anyways – isn’t going to take representation away from them at all. What I hope it might do is make it clear that I wasn’t voting for them for education/art/environment/health care reasons, and get the Conservatives/Liberals to pay more attention to tech issues.

@9 EVIL!!!

The Australian Pirate Party is taking a while to be getting it’s sea legs, we need 500+ memebers and are pretty much just growing by word of mouth so far. I’m hoping that the administration team can get together with some torrent news sites to spread the word to all Aussies!

That is a simple bot check, it’s swedish for “I am not a bot”

This is in no way saying we are Swedish, though truth be told I am studying it, and speak a fair bit now.

“the canadian maple leaf is copyrighted by the government of canada…just to let torrentfreak know…”
the maple leaf I often used by political parties inside Canada. Any why there is nothing wrong with using something copyrighted, just when such use is unliked by the rights holder and enforce by law.
I know copyright is a monster to be kill, but at least understand it’s basic nature.

It is, pretty much, impossible for a fringe party to get a seat in Canada. In fact, both the Green party and the NDP have very good positions on copyright. If the Pirate Party takes votes away from them, then it will only reduce the representation of reason on copyright in the parliament.

Unfortunately it is not going to be easy for these guys to get a seat in the Canadian parliament by any stretch of the imagination. There is a quirk in the Canadian electoral system that makes it harder for third party groups to get into the parliament here. The way it works in Canada is that the country is divided into 308 areas called ridings based on population (about 100 000 people per riding, although some are less if they cover too large a land area) and in each riding the person that gets the highest percent of the vote there wins the seat. The result is often that the representation of our government is not proportional to the popular vote. For example our federal Green party has been around for a number of years and got 6.8% of the country’s popular vote yet failed to win a single seat in the House of Commons because the support is country wide and not concentrated into a single riding. The reality is that the pirate party can’t enter the Canadian parliament unless they find a way to really concentrate support in singular ridings over amassing a small, yet sizable percent of popular vote nationwide and the is simply not likely to happen.
