Patrick "Pat" MacAdam was a Canadian writer and longtime Conservative Party insider born in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. He died in Ottawa on May 19, 2015.

Early and political life

MacAdam attended St. Francis Xavier University, in Antigonish, Nova Scotia from 1952 until 1956. He served as the editor-in-chief of the student newspaper The Xaverian Weekly in 1955, the same year he met longtime friend Brian Mulroney when Mulroney was a freshman and MacAdam was a senior.

MacAdam would serve as a political advisor to Mulroney during his term as Prime Minister of Canada, taking a job at the High Commission of Canada in London. After Mulroney's term ended in 1993, MacAdam was accused of tax evasion, and eventually convicted in 1997.^[1]

Writing

In addition to a weekly column in the Ottawa Sun, MacAdam has written several books:

The record speaks! (1961)
Unbelievable Canadian War Stories (2006)
"Big Cy" and Other Characters: Pat MacAdam's Cape Breton (2006), nominated for a Stephen Leacock Award in 2007.
Gold Medal Misfits (2007)^[2]
Mulroney's Man: Memoirs and Misadventures of an Ottawa Insider (2008)
