He earned a B.A. in political science from McGill University in Montreal , and an M.A. and a Ph.D. from the University Of Calgary . In 1997 , he became assistant professor of political science at the University Of Western Ontario in London ; promotion to Tenure d associate professor came in 2002 . At Western, he specialized in Canadian Politics , particularly Canadian Conservative politics and law and politics. His book ''Friends of the Court: The Privileging of Interest Group Litigants in Canada'' ( State University Of New York Press, 2002 ), a revision of his doctoral Dissertation , discussed the treatement of interest groups seeking leave to intervene before the Supreme Court Of Canada (intervention, here, being analogous to Amicus Curiae briefing). ''Friends'' posited that the court had come to favor a preferred set of interest groups, and explored the legal theory by which this had come about. In 2003 , he took leave from Western to become assistant to the chief of staff in the office of the Federal Leader Of The Opposition , first under Harper when he led the Canadian Alliance , then under Grant Hill 's interim Parliamentary Leader ship in 2004 . When Harper became leader of the successor Conservative Party Of Canada , he appointed Brodie its Executive Director ; after Harper became prime minister after the 2006 Election , he became chief of staff in the PMO.
