Independent New Brunswick MLA Dominic Cardy has officially launched a new “no-nonsense” federal political party, with plans to run candidates in the Quebec and Winnipeg byelections.
“Until today, no party is offering that combination. We do,” he said.
“The Canadian Future Party is for all Canadians, and I promise that we’re going to be courageous, we’re going to be competent, and we’re going to be evidence-based.”
Emphasizing that the party will be a “no-nonsense” one, he elaborated on the evidence-based approach.
“We’re going to approach every problem by looking at evidence. That’s our ideology—by looking at facts, by sharing our research, our methodology, so Canadians can understand how we arrive at our policy conclusions.”
