Pleased to announce the publication of the new edition of my textbook on Canadian politics, with a new title, new publisher, and great new price!

Very grateful to professors @DrLindaTrimble and Don Desserud (UPEI) for their positive endorsements.

@R_Sigurdson @UCalgary @UCalgaryArts I gave a talk on the BC election at our university open house today. There were more senior administrators in the audience than prospective students 😂

@juliaepower In the 1940s New Brunswick persuaded a court that sales taxes were direct. Basically they argued shop keepers were provincial tax agents and were collecting the tax directly from consumers. See, Atlantic Smoke Shops, Limited v. Conlon.

@1689Winnipeger @2closetocall The CPC won some seats in the outer suburbs, but nothing in Vancouver in 2006.

@2closetocall It would be 2006 all over again!

I wish ⁦@MisterJohnDoyle⁩ well in retirement, but I’m sure going to miss him. His recommendations were invariably spot on, but his insights on the cultural significance of television were even more impressive. I always read his column first each day. https://t.co/tpo4CjRVh2

@ianhanomansing I got Haymitch written on my latte cup a few months ago 😂

My favourite Fleetwood Mac songs were written by Christine McVie. And the Legendary Christine Perfect album — released before she joined Fleetwood Mac and before she married John McVie — is a classic. A sad day but her perfect music will live on forever. https://t.co/dI0kvMtoHg

Another aging rock star releases an expanded version of a classic album. Note to music execs: I would be more likely to buy a classic rock album if you released an abridged version that cuts the three or four crappy songs from side two! https://t.co/4upROBnkoR

There is a lot of illness in the community. Half my class was absent today. Maybe it’s time for other universities to think about masks. https://t.co/y11uZ5cokU

I made it on to @keithbaldrey’s legendary bookcase! Super tickled and very grateful. Thank you Keith for promoting BC authors. And for your insightful reporting of course. #EngagingCanadianPolitics

@ty_olsen Congratulations! A well earned award 🥇

[Hamish Telford @HamishTelford]

@tymanchambers Just like this I bet

[Hamish Telford @HamishTelford]

@WhistlerBlckcmb great to finally see some snow on the slopes. I hope the reservation system for the on mountain lodges will be back again this season. That was the best change on the mountain since the introduction of high speed lift chairs!

[Hamish Telford @HamishTelford]

The Huntress was excellent too!

[Tara Rae Moss @Tara_Moss]

We missed you so much, @KateQuinnAuthor! Get well soon ❤️‍🩹

PS I adore #TheDiamondEye.

[Hamish Telford @HamishTelford]

And the BCNDP has swept all their problems under a big rug!

[Stewart Prest @StewartPrest]

It's 6pm and I haven't had an interview request all day. I guess the municipal election really is over.

[Hamish Telford @HamishTelford]

@AaronWherry Well, we should definitely avoid the Truss 45 days of destruction!

[Hamish Telford @HamishTelford]

A pleasure talking to @anitabathe tonight about the NDP leadership race and new premier David Eby.

[CBC British Columbia @cbcnewsbc]

Political scientist Hamish Telford comments on Anjali Appadurai's disqualification from B.C. NDP leadership race.

[Rob Shaw @RobShaw_BC]

.@ElectionsBC says it has concluded its investigation into @AnjaliApp and @dogwoodbc because the financing rules could only apply and proceed if she was an approved candidate by the party.

[Hamish Telford @HamishTelford]

@ShachiKurl I can’t believe my town of Abbotsford is *not* on that list!
