TORONTO — An investigative journalist who authored books that tackled topics ranging from a prime minister's involvement in jet purchases to the murders of women on a British Columbia pig farm has died.
Amy Cameron said her mother believed in speaking truth to power but power sometimes fought back, and the accusation that she was a police informant was particularly hard. Cameron's credentials also include two books on serial killer Robert Pickton, a stint as host of CBC's"The Fifth Estate" in the early 1990s, and working as a contributing editor of Maclean's, from 1993 to 2001, among other things.
"Stevie Cameron is one of Canada’s foremost investigative journalists and a committed volunteer. For decades, her award-winning books and investigative reports have exposed wrongdoing and uncovered buried truths," a bio of her on the Governor General's website notes. Author and journalist Jan Wong, who remembered Cameron inviting Wong, her husband and her mother-in-law to Christmas dinner when she was new to Toronto in the 1980s, said Cameron's experience as a chef and lifestyles reporter led to some big stories.
