Comment: Some assertions about Fulton's early career are unsupported by citations. Press releases and PR-derived company sources (eg BNN, Restaurant Brands Int'l, Canadian Tire) are not reliable. "The Meteoric Rise..." link is broken so could not be verified. Overall, draft reads like a CV or corporate peacockery. Paul W (talk) 16:17, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
