David Cameron Dorward ECA (born January 22, 1952) is a Canadian politician who represented the electoral district of Edmonton-Gold Bar in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 2012[1] to 2015.

[2] Dorward was the approved United Conservative Party candidate for the electoral riding of Edmonton-Gold Bar for the 2019 Alberta provincial election.

Two years later Dorward ran for a seat to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta in the electoral district of Edmonton-Gold Bar as a Progressive Conservative candidate.

[10][11] In March 2019, leading up to the Alberta provincial election, Dorward's transphobic social media comments from 2016 resurfaced.

[12] Dorward responded to these comments in a short online apology, stating that “while [he] was not alone in sharing this belief at the time, [he is] relieved that such fears have not been validated in the following three years.” To be specific, these comments involved him stating his concerns that transgender bathroom laws would permit young men to walk into girl's restrooms whenever they were so inclined.
