Hello,<br><br>Congratulations! First elections are always difficult, 5/7 sounds successful to me for the first election. Being a registered party is even more important and the start of a long political career :) <br><br>Good luck for the future!<br>

On November 29, 2010, the Pirate Party of Canada made history by being the first Pirate Party outside of Europe to run a candidate in a federal election, namely Jeff Coleman in Winnipeg North. Running on a platform of strengthening dialogue with government and safeguarding leadership in the exchange of information, Jeff finished in 5th place out of 7 candidates, nearly edging out the Green Party candidate.<br>
<br>
This also had the effect of making us an officially registered party<br>
