Winnipeg has a tenth candidate in the running to be mayor.

My entire campaign is going to lack a lot of pizzazz. But it'll have a lot of form and function to it. - Buck Duchene, mayoral candidate

Buck Duchene is a display advertising specialist and is a landlord in Winnipeg.

He said he is running because Winnipeg is stuck dealing with the same issues over and over, such as infrastructure or snow removal.

He is opposed to taxes being hiked to fund what he says should be sustainable expenses, such as rapid transportation.

Duchene is bluntly honest about what kind of campaign he plans to run.

"I absolutely do not have the funding compared to some people," he said. "I know there's a lot of business owners they've got dressed up vehicles, [they're] running commercials and stuff like that. My funding is extremely low. A lot of people get caught up with the flash and pizzazz. My entire campaign is going to lack a lot of pizzazz. But it'll have a lot of form and function to it."

He said he does have one thing on his side.

"I do have a moderate bonus and I know it's a more of a comical one: my first name being Buck," he said, laughing. "It's an easy name to remember. I suspect that my chances on a grand scale of things I mean are one tenth of whatever's out there."

But he does hope his ideas will be part of the debate on how the city should be run.
