Status Update

July 22nd, 2009 at 4:33pm | 4 Comments

Hello all, welcome to our new site! We’ve all been pretty busy getting everything organized, but here is a quick update as to what we’re working on:

  • This website - as you can see, it is much nicer than our last one, which looked like it was whipped up in 5 minutes (which it pretty much was). This one is much more attractive.
  • Financing - we are currently setting up a legal entity with which we can manage finances more easily. This is almost ready.
  • Membership - in order to get a political party, we need 250 members. To become a member, you must fill out a form given to us by Elections Canada, and also pay a $10 membership fee to us. While we don’t like to ask for a fee from our members, it is our main source of revenue for financing our operations. Go here if you would like to sign up.
  • Meetings - we are having meetings all over Canada! There have been meetings in Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Waterloo, and others. See this page for a list of the local meetings. If you don’t see your town there, post in our forum to see who else is around!

    I’m glad that something is finally beginning to happen.

    Just a small not about the layout - on my screen (Firefox 3, 800×600 resolution), the black text bleeds over from the white area on the left to the red area on the right, and it is difficult to read. Please fix that, if possible.

    I think it is great that there is a Pirate Party in Canada now. My husband is a member in Germany - we live here, but I am a Canadian citizen and now have a good reason for voting by proxy :) Can I become a member and live abroad? It will help the numbers to make the party official in any case :)
