PARTY INVOLVEMENT / PARTICIPATION DE PARTI:

If you've been involved with politics or political parties on any level (federal, provincial, municipal, or international), have studied political science, know somebody who knows somebody, or whatever, detail it here. It's not necessary to have a political background, but it helps.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST / CONFLITS D'INTÉRÊTS:
Have you been involved with any organizations that might positively or negatively affect your ability to represent your constituents and the Pirate Party? List the organizations, your involvement, and whether you're still active.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT / PARTICIPATION DE LA COMMUNAUTÉ:
How have you been involved in your local community, or in the community in which you wish to run (if different)? Do you know a lot of people there who will be willing to help you with your campaign? Does your background give you a pretty good feel for what sort of things your voters are looking for?

PLATFORM / MANIFESTE:
The Pirate Party of Canada's core values are copyright and patent reform, privacy, and open government. What do you think about these? What else would you have in your platform during your campaign? You should have a stated position on most hot-button issues, even if the Party does not.
