Former NatPost editorial writer Harper's new PR guy

John Williamson, a former National Post editorial writer and past head of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, takes over the communications post from Kory Teneycke in mid-September. A crusader for lower taxes, Williamson, 39, served as Harper's press secretary during his 2002 bid to become Canadian Alliance leader. As lobbyist at the taxpayers federation, he was a vocal critic of the Conservative government's big-spending ways before leaving to study at London's School of Economics last year.
