David Adam (diplomat)
Template:Short description David Graeme Adam (born 1941) is a Canadian diplomat. He was the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Ecuador and Panama.[1]
Born in Toronto, Ontario, Adam graduated from the University of Toronto Faculty of Law in 1968.[2]
In 1973, when Adam was a first secretary in Chile, he gained some notoriety when he and his colleague Marc Dolgin offered refuge in their homes to about fourteen Chileans fleeing the 11 September coup d'état.[3] Canada's response to the coup was initially ambivalent, and some credit the actions of Adam and Dolgin for the Canadian government's decision to permit Chilean refugees to settle in Canada.[4] Adam reports that he is quoted (anonymously) in the 1982 film Missing, a dramatization of the story of American journalist Charles Horman, who disappeared in the aftermath of the coup.[2]
