Independent New Brunswick MLA Dominic Cardy has officially launched a new “no-nonsense” federal political party, with plans to run candidates in the upcoming Quebec and Winnipeg byelections.

The Canadian Future Party will be “fiscally responsible” and “socially liberal,” Cardy, currently the interim leader of the new party, said during an Aug. 14 news conference in Ottawa.
