Whew, my first post here!

The past month has seen an unequivocal amount of success for us here at the Pirate Party of Canada, and the first thing the PPoC team would like to say… is “THANK YOU”.

As you may have known, online membership has officially surpassed the 1000-member mark and Canadian (and international media) have taken notice, especially with the launch of CaPT. We are all very excited about what that means for our future. You, the average Canadian, have taken notice, and I’ve been watching the messages of congratulations trickle in on Twitter. Thank you, thank you, and THANK YOU for all the kindness and interest you have shown us since June, and I hope you stick around (or better yet, get involved!) so that we can really start to send our message to Parliament Hill. If you can vote in Canada, the most important way you can support us is by joining, then filling out the Elections Canada party registration form and mailing it to Stephane. We are still in need of those forms. We need a BARE MINIMUM of 250 to send off, but with strict form guidelines, we will need to send at least 300 unique, individual, hand-signed forms to Elections Canada with our registration request. Please, do us a favour, and join us in the fight!

Now, the rest. If you know your Canada Elections Act by memory (I’d be impressed if you did!), you know that we need a few more things: An official agent (Our non-profit corporation application has been officially submitted!), an auditor, an office, but most importantly, a leader. We have finally finished a voting system which we will start to use by issuing a key vote in the near future. Sometime in the near future, we will hold elections for party officers and party leadership.

Thanks, once again!
