He represented the riding of Wild Rose in Alberta.

A dual citizen of Canada and the United States, Thompson was born and raised in Monte Vista, Colorado.

At the age 19 he tried out for the New York Yankees as a catcher, but failed to make the team due to Yogi Berra's dominance at the position.

Years later in a meeting with U.S. President George W. Bush, upon hearing of the tryout, Bush looked at Thompson's hands and guessed which position he played.

He claimed that the cowboy hat was part of his heritage, and he had as much right to wear it as MPs had the right to wear turbans or native feathers.

While serving in opposition, Thompson was harshly critical of the Liberal government.

Issues he has focused on include government spending, same-sex marriage, victims' rights, child pornography, and prison reform.

1994

In 1994, the Reform Party passed a policy at its national convention to deny family benefits to same-sex couples.

Thompson said at the time, "I do not hate homosexuals – I hate homosexuality."
