A new political party is days away from being introduced to Manitobans, modelled after the successful Saskatchewan Party that has made Brad Wall the most popular premier in Canada.
Rumblings of the creation of the Manitoba Party have been circulating for months, but took on new life Friday with the circulation of a pamphlet outlining its 10 main principles.
Its logo is a green bison head and a blue turbine to signify the potential of the province, including Manitoba Hydro.
The centrist party would be made up of Liberals, Greens and disgruntled Tories.
Its aim is to unseat the NDP in Winnipeg ridings in the next provincial election.
"I think there's a lot of frustration out there," said Peter Holle, president of think-tank Frontier Centre for Public Policy and backer of the Manitoba Party.
"I think there's a lot of interest in something new."
