Julian Walker Biography 

Biography 

Julian H. Walker’s career spans 50 years  as a reporter, editor, columnist, political  aide, deputy minister, and university  professor. He holds four university degrees in journalism, politics, and French  Studies, including a master’s degree  in politics with distinction from that  hotbed of free expression, the London  School of Economics. 

Under his leadership as editor of the  feisty The Saint Croix Courier—publishing independently since 1865 in St.  Stephen, NB—the newspaper did investigative journalism on corruption in  construction of the province’s nuclear  generating station. In the process, the  newspaper’s small, hard-digging staff  received honours as the best weekly in  Atlantic Canada, and recognition for  something unheard of, churning out  stories among the top 10 pieces of investigative journalism in Canada for  1981.

In politics he was one of the staffers dubbed “the Four Horsemen of the  Apocalypse '' in Frank McKenna’s 58–0  election win in 1987. As a deputy minister he helped bring environmental enforcement to a tough new level. Walker  celebrates letting more fresh air into his native province and restoring a freer  press in New Brunswick and in Canada  as a whole.

Dedication 

Throughout the writing of Wires Crossed the essence of my son David was with me. His passion for truth and justice inspired me along this journey.
