This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:36, 3 July 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

'''Dalton Kingsley Camp''' ((Post-nominals|country=CAN|PC|OC)) (September 11, 1920 &ndash; March 18, 2002) was a [[Canadians|Canadian]] journalist, politician, political strategist and commentator, and supporter of the [[Progressive Conservative Party of Canada]]. Although he was never elected to a seat in the [[Canadian House of Commons]], he was a prominent and influential politician and a popular commentator for decades. He is a central figure in [[Red Toryism]].

== Background==
Camp was born in [[Woodstock, New Brunswick]]. His father was a [[Baptist]] minister whose work took his family to [[Connecticut]] and later [[California]]. Upon his father's death in 1937, Camp's mother and her children returned to their hometown of Woodstock.

Camp soon enrolled in undergraduate studies at [[Acadia University]], but his time there was interrupted by enlistment in the [[Canadian Army]] during the [[Second World War]].  After the war, Camp finished his undergraduate studies in the liberal arts at the [[University of New Brunswick]], followed by graduate studies in journalism at [[Columbia University]] and political science at the [[London School of Economics]].

His daughter [[Cherie Camp]] has worked as a musician and actress.<ref name=pitch>"Singer Cherie Camp makes a pitch for the big time". ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'', May 12, 1981.</ref>

== Political involvement==
While involved in studies at the University of New Brunswick, Camp worked briefly for the [[Liberal Party of Canada]] and its provincial wing, the [[New Brunswick Liberal Association]]. Later, Camp was heavily influenced by his studies at the [[London School of Economics]], and upon his return to Canada, he sought to distance himself from what he now felt was the arrogance of "Canada's Ruling Party," the Liberals. Camp had some socialist beliefs which attracted him to the Liberal Party, but he was also attracted to the traditions of Canadian conservatism and so he ultimately found a political home within the [[Red Tory]] wing of the [[Progressive Conservative Party of Canada]].

Living in [[Toronto]] in the 1950s, Camp worked with several [[public relations]] firms and through his speaking, organizational, and political abilities was influential during several provincial elections in Canada that saw Progressive Conservative governments elected for the first time in more than a generation. Camp was also instrumental in helping [[John Diefenbaker]], the leader of the federal party, win elections in 1957 and 1958 although he personally mistrusted Diefenbaker. After the PC defeat to [[Lester Pearson]]'s Liberals in 1963, Camp sought to reorganize the party, and he became president of the national party the following year.

Faced with evidence that most of the party was unhappy with Diefenbaker's policies, which were increasingly eccentric and autocratic, Camp led a grassroots campaign within the party for a [[leadership review]]. After the decision was made to have a leadership convention in 1967, Camp left the presidency of the party and briefly considered campaigning for leadership of the party, but when [[Robert Stanfield]] decided to run, Camp lent his support to Stanfield's campaign.

Camp ran as a candidate for Parliament in the [[1963 Canadian federal election|1963]] and [[1968 Canadian federal election|1968 elections]], but he personally failed to be elected.

==Later life==
Camp retired as a politician and pursued interests in advertising, political commentary, and journalism. He headed an advertising firm, aptly named ''Camp Associates''. In the 1980s and the 1990s, he became a regular political commentator on [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|CBC]]'s ''[[Morningside (radio program)|Morningside]]'', along with [[Stephen Lewis]] and [[Eric Kierans]], and he was a biweekly political writer for the ''[[Toronto Star]]'' newspaper.  He also wrote regular columns for the ''[[Toronto Sun]]'' and the ''[[Saint John Telegraph-Journal]]'' newspapers for many years.

Camp returned briefly to active politics when he was named a senior advisor to Prime Minister [[Brian Mulroney]]'s staff from 1986 to 1989, including consulting for the [[1988 Canadian federal election|1988 election]], which saw Mulroney's government campaign for a [[Canadian-American Free Trade Agreement|free trade agreement]] with the [[United States]]. Camp left politics in 1989 with some disillusionment toward the increasing [[Blue Tory]] policies of Mulroney's government and several decisions that were leading to western disillusionment in the caucus. That would become evident when the [[Reform Party of Canada]] was established.

In 1993, he was made an Officer of the [[Order of Canada]].

Camp underwent a [[heart transplant]] in 1993, the oldest person in Canada to do so at the time,<ref>[http://www.inmemoriam.ca/view-announcement-121170-dalton-kingsley-camp.html Obituary]</ref> and he continued to write and give political commentary from his home in [[Jemseg, New Brunswick]].

He experienced a [[stroke]] in February 2002, which led to his death a month later at a hospital in [[Fredericton]]. He was survived by six children and eight grandchildren.
