Prime Minister Stephen Harper: Jason Kenney

S Communications Dept: Alykhan Velshi s appointment as a director of the Toronto Atmospheric Fund was one many voted upon by city council last week and now made public, according to The Star. Velshi was prominent in Prime Minister Stephen Harper s federal election war room and stepped down earlier this year as Immigration Minister Jason Kenney s communications director and a former Harper Conservative spin doctor currently rebranding Alberta s oil sands as ethical oil is among new appointees to a city environmental agency. Earlier at the same council session, Councillor Mike Layton paid tribute to his late father, Jack, noting his role in helping to found the fund, which dispenses grants and invests in companies that benefit Toronto s environment.
