Well that's interesting!
Manitoba Conservative MP for Charleswood—St James—Assiniboia from 2004 to 2015, Fletcher was the first quadriplegic and wheelchair user to serve in the House of Commons. Six months after his defeat in the 2015 election, he was elected Progres­sive Conservative MLA for Assiniboia. Quitting the PCs and sitting as an independent from June 30, 2017, he formed and led the Manitoba Party on August 13, 2018. He did not run in the 2019 provincial election, attempting instead (but failing) to regain his federal seat under the banner of the People's Party of Canada. At the time, he claimed that he and Maxime Bernier were "ideological soulmates."
