Notes

Peter Brimelow (born 13 October 1947) is a British-born American writer. Founder of the webzine VDARE, Brimelow was previously a writer and editor at the National Review.

Brimelow founded the Center for American Unity in 1999 and served as its first president. He describes himself as a paleoconservative. Until September 2012, he was a columnist for Dow Jones' MarketWatch.

Brimelow was born in 1947 in Warrington, Cheshire, England, the son of Bessie (née Knox) and Frank Sanderson Brimelow, a transport executive. Brimelow (and his twin brother) studied at the University of Sussex (BA, 1970) and Stanford University (MBA, 1972.) Brimelow later immigrated to Canada. After a brief stint as a securities analyst, he settled in Toronto, becoming a business writer and editor at the Financial Post and Maclean's magazine. From 1978–80, he was an aide to senator Orrin Hatch in Washington D.C..

In 1980, Brimelow moved to New York, working for Barron's Magazine and Fortune. He was the senior editor of Forbes magazine from 1986 to 2002.

Brimelow was married to Maggy Laws-Brimelow (1953–2004) until her death. He and Maggy had two children, a son (Alexander) and daughter (Hannah-Claire). After Maggy's death he married Lydia Sullivan, a Heritage Foundation intern, in 2007. They had their first child, Felicity Deonne Brimelow, in August 2010 and Karia Sybil Nancy Brimelow on 13 June 2012. Their third daughter, Victoria Beauregard Brimelow, was born on 6 February 2015.

In 1986, Brimelow published The Patriot Game: National Dreams and Political Realities, a book partly based on Goldwin Smith's Canada and the Canadian Question, published in 1891. Brimelow's book helped starting the Reform Party of Canada in 1987 and motivated supporters of Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
