The Pirate Party recently released its campaign ad. In what is probably a unique strategy in this campaign it attacks no
one, ignores superficial fluff, and goes in depth into an aspect of the party platform. In short its a model of what all the parties should have used their ads for during this super long election: informed Canadians. Enjoy.
Find a political ad from this election that does more to inform Canadians and I will eat my tricorne hat.

Not having received an invitation to participate in the Globe Economy Debate (assumably lost in the postal system) the Pirate Party of Canada decided to live blog their own answers to the questions asked. The following is the transcript taken from the party website. Question 1: Jobs |
Reduce Copyright Terms -We will shorten copyright terms from the current length of the author’s lifetime +50 years to a more economically justifiable length of 10 years from the date of publication. -Copyright owners will be granted the ability to commit their works to the public domain permanently at any time. Unbundle Technology -We will introduce a requirement that the providers of bundled services, computer software and hardware, price and offer each component individually as well as in a bundle. Commitment to Local Representation -The party will avoid the use of whipped votes in Parliament. Instead opting to seek caucus consensus through debate and discussion. -The party will for each vote state a recommended way of voting but will not hold its members to it. | End the Copyright Levy -We will seek to abolish the copyright levy. Strengthening the Moral Rights of Authors -An artist has the right to have their work attributed to them when used by another where it is reasonable to do so unless this right is waived by the artist. -An artist has the right not to be associated with beliefs they find offensive through third party use of their work. A third party may be required, at the request of the artist, to include a disclaimer dissociating the artist from the third party using their work. -The moral rights of an artist last for the lifetime of an artist. These rights may not be transferred to another but they may be permanently renounced if the artist chooses to do so. |
