The upstart Canadian Future Party launches into byelections — does it have a shot?

As the Canadian Future Party officially introduced its candidate for the LaSalle-Émard-Verdun byelection on Thursday — a day after the party’s formal launch — questions lingered about voters’ appetite for a new option on the ballot.

Mark Khoury will run for the party in the Montreal riding, while Zbig Strycharzy was added to the ballot Thursday for the Elmwood-Transcona byelection.

Neither of the candidates’ biographies on the Canadian Future Party website mention them having run in any previous election or having any prior political affiliations.
