PirateParty looks to vpn for votes
The Pirate Party in Canada is considering launching a VPN services in face of the possibility that the Conservative party might win the current Canadian elections and who are expected to pass bill that according to them will “provide unprecedented systematic interception and monitoring of Canadians’ personal communications”. The Pirate Party are therefore “preparing to extend the services presently offered to residents of repressive regimes to protect the people affected by the aspiring dictator right here at home.”
“We will provide VPN service to Canadians at a rate of $10 / 200GB. For every paid account we open, we will also provide a free VPN account to a citizen of a nation with censored internet,” said party leader Mikkel Paulson today.
I believe this recent press release is just meant to give them some extra attention and a possible boost before the elections and its smart move I must say. While perhaps it is not the most important news to most people, I did need something to write to about! 🙂

While I applaud your intentions, I’m not so sure what you are planning will actually succeed inits goal of protecting Canadians from this overbroad surveillance legislation.
Even if the Pirate Party’s VPN servers are located offshore, the Pirate Party must, of necessity, maintain an office of sorts in Canada. I strongly suspect that the “lawful access” legislation would consider the Pirate Party’s VPN server the same as any other telecom/service provider/ISP that offers services to Canadians.
As such, the service operators will be subject to the exact same reporting requirements as any other Canadian ISP/service provider.
How does this then protect Canadians from warrantless searches?

Have no a lot of cash to buy a building? You should not worry, because it’s achievable to receive the credit loans to solve such kind of problems. Thence take a term loan to buy everything you want.
Not sure how legit this is… anyways, if you are looking for a great VPN for streaming online TV (i.e. hulu, BBC iPlayer, etc.) i’d recommend checking out Streaming VPN http://www.streamingvpn.com – i’ve used them with no issues from here in Canada.
