Forecheck Strategies was incorporated the first business day after Pierre Poilievre was elected Conservative Party leader in September 2023.

And she walks into caucus meetings as if an MP or something.

Poilievre’s got something odd going on here. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Conservatives who supported carbon pricing as a market mechanism to tackle climate change did so because it was their side proposing it.
