A graduate of Queen’s University and St. Lawrence College’s municipal administration program, Brent H. Cameron is a writer and political activist based in eastern Ontario. Formerly an assistant and advisor to a member of the Ontario Legislature, he has served as a municipal councillor and Deputy Mayor in his home community. During the 2007 Ontario Electoral Reform Referendum, he oversaw the No MMP campaign for eastern Ontario (excluding Ottawa).
A former member of the Community Editorial Board of the Kingston Whig-Standard, he has authored three books. His 2005 book The Case for Commonwealth Free Trade: Options for a new globalization helped define the “CANZUK” (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom) concept that has been endorsed by both the Conservative Party of Canada and the youth wing of the Liberal Party of Canada – as well as major political parties in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
Brent is an advisor to CANZUK International, a member of the Advisory Board of Commonwealth Exchange – a London, UK-based policy and research group – and was made a Life Member of the Toronto Branch of the Royal Commonwealth Society. He is also a regular contributor to the Daily Globe UK online publication, and has written for other publications, such as The Hub.
