We're not staying here long. After a busy day, we're about to fly to Cologne, Germany and, once there, we will travel to Bonn where we will stay the night.... For the ride over, we were joined by various staffers from the PMO, including Buckler, press secretary Carolyn Stewart-Olsen, deputy press secretary Dimitri Soudas, PMO policy and research director Mark Cameron, and, of course, Harper's executive assistant Ray Novak. Novak goes wherever the PM goes and, as I've often said, is underestimated power in the PMO as he is the first person Harper sees (other than his wife) when he gets up and the last person he sees before going to bed.
