Candidate, Kitchener—Waterloo

Steven Bradley Scott graduated with honors from the Sheridan Computer Science Technology program (co-op). He joined the Pirate Party in March 2011 after they addressed a number of questions regarding privacy, UBB, and the CRTC. Steven believes that the abuse of Copyright and Patent law needs to be stopped to ensure competition in the market place and encourage artistic growth. He also believes the prices that Canadians are currently paying for digital communications far exceed what is required to conduct business and that penalty based billing schemes (cap-based systems) should be dropped. He believes that such schemes are both abusive and prohibitive to Canadians, whose Internet services are rated as some of the poorest in the world. Steven believes that the privacy of Canadians needs to be protected. He holds the position that education is one of the chief defenses against abuses and seeks to assist Canadians by empowering them to make informed decisions.

A musician from age 9, Steven Bradley Scott is a lover of art, books, and culture. He currently resides in Waterloo, where he works at RIM as a Technical Security Analyst.
