About Graham

Graham Thomson is an Edmonton-based political commentator.

He is best known as a writer for the Edmonton Journal where he spent 25 years, almost all of them helping readers make sense of Alberta politics. Graham quit The Journal in September of 2018. But he did not quit the news media.

He is still writing about politics, still analyzing, still opining, still thanking politicians for providing so much humour.
