Ep. 593: Conservative Party of BC: Running for Leadership

Jan 30

Guest: Yuri Fulmer (Conservative Party of BC leadership candidate)

The race for Conservative Party of BC leader is on. “British Columbia stands at a crossroads,” says Yuri Fulmer, who was the first to put his name forward for the job. “After years of mismanagement and policies that have failed working families, it's time for a new direction,” states his leadership campaign website.

Fulmer was born in Australia and moved to BC after a backpacking trip. He says, “I fell in love with the gentle and equitable ethos of Canada.” He stayed and went to work at an A&W. By the time he was 22, he bought his first franchise and started to build a business portfolio. He went on to purchase the Mr Mike’s Steakhouse and Bar.

Fulmer’s company byline is “Business Nicely Done.” And it is clear his political lens is business-focused. His political chops are thinner – he ran in the last provincial election in West Vancouver - Sea to Sky, where he lost to the Green Party candidate. “A learning experience to be sure,” says Fulmer.

We invited Yuri Fulmer to join us for a Conversation That Matters about his bid to lead the Conservative Party of BC and lead the party into the next provincial election.
