Pirate Party of Canada is now Official
« on: April 14, 2010, 04:39:16 AM »
Well, they don't seem to publish their positions on anything but copyright/patent law (which is their main push) and personal privacy/freedoms, but the Pirate Party is now official in Canada - it started in Sweden and Canada is the first place outside of Europe that it's managed to get officially started.

I'm hoping that they'll get at least some traction the US as well.  While they don't seem to stray much from their core issue, the copyright/patent system in the US (and really in most of the world) as about as messed up as can be, so any push to fix it is good IMHO.

Here's the fledgling US website:

And the English version of the original Swedish branch:

Nice website, but I guess that's to be expected given the sole issue of their platform.

Geeeez ::)

I would have thought we got enough Parties here. On second thought we don't have a real Right Wing group.
