Canada’s newest federal political party officially launched in Ottawa on Wednesday.
The Canadian Future Party is billing itself as a centrist option for voters unhappy with both the Liberals and Conservatives.
“For too long, Canadians have been asked to play a political shell game,” interim leader Dominic Cardy told a press conference in Ottawa.
“Under the shell on the left, the social programs you need. But along with it, too often you have to buy bloated government, ever-increasing spending, divorced from delivering results.
“Under the shell on the right, we’re supposed to find fiscal discipline. But along with it, too often there’s a mean-spirited approach that blames the most vulnerable for their plight, selfishness masquerading as liberty that happily misdirects government resources to the wealthy, and polices our bodies and our bedrooms.”
