Daniel Ernest Cameron (1924 – 12 April 2009)[1][2] was the Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada, from 1991 to 1995, as leader of the New Brunswick Confederation of Regions Party, a conservative political party.
He had previously assisted the former Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament as his chief of staff for many years.
Cameron served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II.
The party's machine (President, Executive, Council) tried to overthrow him, but their attempts failed, and although they and the membership elected Brent Taylor as leader, Cameron was able to successfully argue that leadership convention was illegal.
When he stepped down as leader, he was replaced with a candidate that was widely seen as part of the "Anti-Cameron" camp.
