A former diplomat, Brian Buckley spent sixteen of his thirty-two-year career on postings in the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. Every time he returned to Canada, he was reminded of our nation's good fortune, which was made possible by Tim Carlon and his generation.
After retiring from the foreign service, Buckley spent another decade lecturing on international relations at Carleton University's Norman Paterson School of International Affairs. He has written three books and several journal articles on foreign policy and the news media, Canada's early nuclear programs, and the resettlement of Southeast Asian refugees in Ottawa in 1978 - 1982.
Brian Buckley lives in Ottawa with Mary Ann, his wife of fifty-five years. They have five grown children and nine grandchildren.
