Ronald Samuel Dart (born 1950, Toronto), BA (Lethbridge); DCS, MCS (Regent College), MA (UBC), PhD studies at McMaster University, is a university professor, author, and ACC mountaineer.
He has authored thirty five books that deal with the interface between literature, spirituality and politics, including Thomas Merton and the Beats of the North Cascades. He is one of the primary experts on the life and thought of both Stephen Leacock and George Grant and their place in the pantheon of traditional Canadian conservative thought.
He is the political science advisor to the Stephen Leacock Museum in Orillia, Ontario, and a board member of the Thomas Merton Society of Canada. He has also penned numerous articles on Mountaineering.
He is a contributor to the Clarion Journal, and The Owl: George Grant Journal, where he has become one of the main traditional Tory voices opposing the "new conservatism" of Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party of Canada.
