The First Canadian Pirates

Jack Sparrow: Your next MP?

OK, they're not real pirates. They're not going to plunder your speedboat in search of booty. They haven't adopted 'The Last Saskatchewan Pirate' as their theme song.
But the Pirate Party of Canada has started up, and if everything goes as planned for them they'll be plundering ... I mean pandering for your votes in the next election.
They're a serious party talking about serious issues, namely file sharing and copyright laws. You can find my story as it appeared in INK here. Tell your friends!

  1. Small correction: The Pirate Party of Canada has recently _appointed_ an Interim Leader and Executive. Once the party has formed a non-profit corporation and has registered with Elections Canada to become an "Eligible party", then full elections will be held for Party Leader and Executive Council.

    Oh, and the acronym is "PPCA", not "PPAC".

    Thanx for the coverage!

    --Bob Jonkman, Interim Executive Director of the Pirate Party of Canada.
