He was first elected at the High Park riding in the 1949 general election, after two unsuccessful attempts to win the riding in the 1940 and 1945 elections. Cameron was re-elected at High Park for a second term in the 1953, but defeated in the 1957 election by John Kucherepa of the Progressive Conservative party.

After another defeat to Kucherepa in the 1958 election, Cameron regained his High Park Parliamentary seat in 1962 and was re-elected in 1963 and 1965. After completing his final term, the 27th Canadian Parliament, Cameron left federal office and did not campaign in any further national elections.

A neighbour discovered the bodies of both Cameron and his wife Beatrice at their Etobicoke apartment on 3 January 1982. Metro Toronto Police indicated they both died early that day of natural causes.[1]
