Canada's Pirate Party greeted the the Conservative Party's campaign pledge to spy on the Internet with a product offering: for $10/200GB, the Pirate Party will provide a VPN service that anonymizes your traffic and makes it harder to snoop on. They're donating one account to a person living in a repressive regime for every account opened by a Canadian.
"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. "This allows us to simultaneously provide protection to Canadians and expand our humanitarian support abroad. We won't keep logs of the activity, although we will of course cooperate with law enforcement in the event of abuse of our services."
Until such a time those in power begin to respect the rights of those they claim to represent, the Pirate Party will work to defend Canadians from the abuses of their government. Interested parties can send an e-mail to vpn@pirateparty.ca for information on how to pre-order.
(Thanks, Daemon!)
