Stephen Harper has appointed political columnist Angelo Persichilli as the new director of communications for the Prime Minister’s Office. Persichilli replaces Dimitri Soudas, a close confidant of Harper’s since he became leader of the Canadian Alliance in 2002. Persichilli most recently worked as the political editor for the Italian-language newspaper Corriere Canadese, and as a political columnist for the Toronto Star and the Hill Times.

    Well, I suppose technically, one-offs is correct. After all, the CPC was only elected once in 2008-2009

    No more surprising then when Duffy got named to the Senate. Harper loves media columnists that go to the wall for him.
