The Pirate Party of Canada Is Official
wasme writes "The Pirate Party of Canada has become the first Pirate Party outside of Europe to become an official political party. Elections Canada confirmed with the party that the PPCA has gained 'eligible for registration' status, and can run in elections starting June 14. From the PPCA's official announcement: 'We are pleased to announce that as of April 12, 2010, the Pirate Party of Canada is officially eligible for Party Status. After 10 months of dedication and hard work, we have reached eligible status, which only leaves a 60-day "purgatory" period. After that, we will field candidates in subsequent federal elections, and begin the real work of a political party.'"

when you see the Jolly Rodger on Regina's mighty shores.

Please, Bad Analogy Guy, explain to us how differences in physical geography cause different needs for digital freedom.

In the past?
You mean when there were even more pirates?
Pfft! Hadn't you heard? Canadians are notorious for killing seals.
You're right. Sharing a name with such a shitty baseball team could result in a lowered public perception of the party's competence.
Arrr, eh ?

Besides, GP says "dictated from Sweden" as if it was a bad thing. Now, I think Sweden is a crap country with stupid people, but as countries go, it's still perhaps the best.
