- Gerry Nicholls: Five tips for the next Teneycke
-
Kory Teneycke, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Director of Communications, has decided to step down.
It’s a job that nobody has held for long and no wonder – Harper can be a tough guy to work for. I should know. At one time, back during his days at the National Citizens Coalition, I was Harper’s communications guy.
But somehow I don’t think I’m at the top of the line to replace Teneycke.
However, that doesn’t mean I can’t offer free advice to his replacement. So that’s what I will do.
Here are my top five tips to the next Conservative Director of Communications.
• Be real. Don’t try to make the Prime Minister into someone he isn’t. He isn’t a cuddly guy who wears vest sweaters and plays the piano. He is a tough-minded, determined, unsentimental individual. Don’t try to disguise these traits. You won’t fool the Canadian voter. Besides lots of people would see those traits as the hallmark of a strong leader. So let Stephen, be Stephen.

- Unhypentated Canadian
- I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
