.@premierbhiggs NB healthcare is an embarrassment. 811 told my daughter to report to the #Moncton ER and be seen by a doctor "within 4 hours." 16 hours later we are still in the waiting room and no patient has been called in for nearly four hours and no information. #nbpolitics
I am going to shamelessly steal this video and make a ringtone from it. Stephen Harper, Father of Carbon Pricing.
Eisenhower’s farewell address warning against the Military Industrial Complex is one of the most important speeches in American history. With global tensions at the highest they have been in almost a century due to the War in Ukraine and and the Israel/Hamas conflict. We must…
My first-year Introduction to Politics students at the UofA peppered former Liberal MP Liberal MP David Graham (@daviddbgraham) this morning with a tonne of questions about parties, politics, and policy. As always, Graham was funny, frank, and to the point.
Thank you @porterairlines! Nice Christmas touch!
Seven years ago, Donald Trump was elected 45th President of the United States. And he’s trying to come back. The forces that brought him to power in 2016 have not disappeared, and they are not unique to the US; they’re very much relevant to Canada. davidgraham.ca/p/the-ever-inc…
We would have a lot more principled and effective legislators if we routinely elected people instead of parties. That joining a caucus and compromising principles is essential to political survival is an indictment of our system.

Many thanks to former Liberal MP @daviddbgraham for his funny and frank talk about political parties to my first-year politics students at the UofA this morning. His rapid-fire speaking style enabled sudents to pose a range of questions. #cdnpoli #partypolitics
Funny he didn't do that to previous speakers. Wonder what's different.

As the federal government and tech giant Meta (Facebook) continue their entrenched battle over access to, and payment for, Canadian news, we might consider what is really at stake. davidgraham.ca/p/net-neutrali…
A really great day! ❤️🇨🇦

The House of Commons protocol office does not report to the prime minister. The parliamentary protective service does not report to the prime minister. The RCMP does not report to the prime minister. Just how micromanaged WAS the former PMO?
Don't miss it one bit. Hopefully one day, MPs will realize what an embarrassment Question Period has become and reform it. No wonder so many Canadians tune out.
By the end of the month, Facebook and Instagram will become news deserts in Canada, with links to all news – both Canadian and foreign – blocked on the platforms. This was predictable and is a direct result of the government’s Bill C-18 policy choices. mgeist.substack.com/p/the-lose-los…

@KateMarieGraham “Some partisan types” is quite the straw-man shot at the people who donate and pound in lawn signs even when the situation is hopeless. No one is against Mike crossing the floor. We’re just not sure setting him up as a saviour figure is wise or true.

The test of your “conservatism” then becomes not your willingness to stand up for conservative principles, but your readiness to abandon them if that is what the leader’s office and the expediency of the moment require.
I’ve not once wished I was still an MP since I lost in 2015. It’s a toxic work environment fuelled by gotchas & one-upmanship. The Liberal-NDP agreement this week is the first time I regretted not being there. This is why many of us run: policies to make people’s lives better.
@daviddbgraham Great thread David! No surprise here, but I agree. P.S. by my count, the popular vote of lpc and ndp is 50.4%
Some say I should be more “diplomatic”, but this equates diplomacy with denying, running away, looking at your shoes and speaking words with, as Orwell said “the force of pure wind”. Speaking plainly in public and private is always a good idea. I shall continue to do so.
As a proud member of the English speaking minority in Quebec let me state unequivocally that the Government of Canada has an absolute obligation to support & defend both linguistic minority communities no matter what position any provincial government takes.

@Britestoan @daviddbgraham @POTUS This is “a minor territorial dispute”? The cowardly West said similar things about Czechoslovakia in 1938. Ukrainians hardly consider it minor and neither does the rest of the world. If it did we wouldn’t even be talking about WW3. You need to give your head a shake.
@Britestoan @daviddbgraham @POTUS The Minsk agreement is working about as well as the Munich agreement worked. Quite well, that is--for the invader. No wonder Hitler doubted that the West would keep its promise to declare war if he invaded Poland, telling his generals. "I saw those worms at Munich."
@daviddbgraham And I mean, in Russia no amount of sanctions could impact the behaviour of the average person because the government will just arrest people who dissent. And plus, anyone 30+ in Russia has seen hyperinflation and probably doesn’t worry themselves too much about a bad few months.
@JustinTrudeau was one of those leaders who inspired me to join politics.
When Pearl Harbour happened the meetings stopped. C’mon people, stop pretending. War has started.
