Pirate Party Australia Winnipeg North first Canadian battleground for Pirate Party A 25-year-old Winnipeg businessman is the first Pirate Party of Canada candidate to run for federal election. Jeff Coleman, a former ESL teacher who owns a design and 3-D company, is running in the upcoming federal by-election on November 29 in Winnipeg North. His plan: to take to the streets of his home riding to engage voters in issues that surround the digital age. Coleman plans to campaign on his party’s key principles: confidentiality on the internet, intellectual copyright and patent law reform, keeping the internet democratic and free and using the web to make government practices and information available to the public. But he’ll also be adding to his platform some local issues, determined by his constituents through Twitter and Facebook. It’s all part of the party’s campaign model to bring a platform of information reform coupled with “a crowdsourced listening campaign” which is designed to identify the distinct needs of each riding.
