Prime Minister Stephen Harper's director of communications, Angelo Persichilli, has quit after only seven months on the job, saying the demands on his time were too high.
Persichilli's appointment in late August to the Prime Minister's Office surprised many because he was a political columnist at the time with The Toronto Star and Hill Times and because he doesn't speak French. He was also a long-time contributor to the Italian-Canadian newspaper Corriere Canadese.
