Evangelicals get top PMO jobs after shuffle

More proof Harper close to religious right: Egale

A shuffle in the Prime Minister's Office has put another evangelical Christian figure near the top political post in the country.

Darrel Reid, the former head of Focus on the Family Canada, has moved from the position of director of policy to become the new deputy chief of staff.

"It's something we've suspected for a long time — that Harper has deep roots with the religious right, and this just further acknowledges that that is in fact the case," says Egale Canada executive director Helen Kennedy. "This is pretty overt though — we haven't really seen that in the past."
