Quote from: PPCAMaidens and Gentlepirates,
We are pleased to announce that as of April 12, 2010, the Pirate Party of Canada (PPCA) is officially eligible for Party Status.
After ten 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.
This day wouldn't have arrived without you, the people of Canada. When we sent out the call for forms, you answered. Boy, did you answer. With the bare minimum of 250 forms being reached in such a short amount of time, we were shocked to see the confirmation forms all in within the space of a month. It goes to show that you, normal Canadians who really run the country, care about what goes on behind the scenes, in the dark, closed board rooms and at the negotiating tables of ACTA, the RIAA, and the CRTC. You've shown that we aren't going to take the indignity of losing technological and cultural rights, so that record labels and big companies can further gouge us.
I can't see them getting many seats, but even one will give us a voice to help fight things like ACTA and the constant infiltration of the American copyright lobby in our country.
And hey, another party that isn't the conservative party is always good. You can view their homepage here.

I'm so becoming a member. $10 a year!
Aw, man! It never occurred to me that I'd need Canadian citizenship.
Very well, I shall contribute in other ways...
You're paying $10 a year to be a member of a political party, even though you're an anarchist.
Unbeknownst to the general public, the true goals of the pirate party are actually just to legalize raping and pillaging.
EDIT::
This is not meant to be connected to anarchy, just piracy.

I just want the card. I think having a card that says 'Pirate Party of Canada' on it is pretty sweet.
Hell, yeah. Not for Anarchy's sake, just to make the government think before they put it to us next time. Again, too bad it's Canadian only.
YARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Yes. This is fucking awesome. Go Canada, I'm happy to be your neighbor right now. :D
