Pirate Party Coming To Canada

An anonymous reader writes "After scoring a surprise electoral win in Sweden and getting high-profile support in Germany, The Pirate Party is coming to Canada. The party's goals are fairly simple. People should have the right to share and copy music, movies and virtually any material, as long as it is for personal use, not for profit. It opposes government and corporate monitoring of Internet activities, unless as part of a criminal investigation. It also wants to phase out patents."

I for one am sick of these neo-pirates perverting the time-tested ideals of classical piratism. Copyright and patent reform? What happened to grog, wenches and plunder? For shame on these people, ruining the good name of pirates.

Shhhh, you have to start with the popular stuff, then you can slowly slip in your other agendas.

Argh! Sex Party? Pirate Party? DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE, MAN!

Since when does "the popular stuff" not include booze, women and free stuff? If those are unpopular, then I guess I'm doomed to a life of being utterly uncool. Don't feel sorry for me though, I'm sure I'll survive somehow...
