I strongly believe that Canada needs a party to challenge the status quo. And it makes me proud of my country to find out that Sweden is exporting some good values and that the Swedish Pirate Party is gaining support from Canadians who believe that personal privacy is worth protecting.

Of course, The Pirate Party is still not being taken completely seriously, but then again, neither was The Green Party when it was first formed. What the party needs right now is publicity... because any publicity is good publicity, right?
