Nigel Hannaford was in charge of my Rotary exchange to Finland in the late 80's. I owe the man a debt of thanks for opening my eyes to the world.
Word now, though, that he's just left the Calgary Herald to become Stephen Harper's speech writer.
The significance, just a month and a bit prior to the UN climate summit in Copenhagen, is that Nigel Hannaford is a vocal denier that humans are causing the dangerous deterioration of the world's climate.
This will therefore only serve to reinforce the perception out there that Stephen Harper never gave up on his own climate change denial, documented in our report here.
It could be comedy that the leader of one of the world's largest industrial economies is surrounding himself with those who so clearly favour ideology over reality, but I've got a three year old boy now who will inherit the results - and that's a tragedy.
