Former newspaperman Scott Anderson has hired on as a speechwriter for Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Former colleague Derek Shelly, now editor of the Kingston Whig Standard, praised Harperโs choice: โScottโs an unconventional thinker who sees the issues in ways other people often donโt, and he embraces big ideas. Heโs interested in everything and his opinions are well-informed and thoughtful. Heโs very, very smart and very, very focused.โ
Sounds like a speechwriter all right.
