Les neuf vies de Dimitri Soudas
Quand Dimitri Soudas part travailler, vers 6h, ses enfants dorment encore. À son retour, le jeune papa passe quelques heures avec Georgia et Théodore-Constantin, qui se couchent tard précisément pour voir leur père. Souvent, papa écoute les nouvelles avec sa plus vieille. À 2 ans, la petite Georgia est trop jeune pour saisir le sens du bulletin. Mais quand elle voit Stephen Harper, elle le reconnaît et prononce immanquablement son nom.
L'anecdote en dit long sur le lien quasi fusionnel qui unit le premier ministre du Canada et son nouveau directeur des communications. Le Québécois de 30 ans, dont la longévité dans l'équipe de communications du premier ministre est exceptionnelle, travaille aux côtés de Stephen Harper depuis huit ans. Depuis l'élection des conservateurs, Dimitri Soudas a vu passer quatre directeurs des communications au bureau de son patron. C'est finalement lui qui a hérité du poste.
Lorsque Dimitri Soudas a été embauché dans son équipe à titre d'adjoint pour le Québec, Stephen Harper était chef de l'Alliance canadienne. Le parti était à 5% dans les sondages et ne dépassait pas la marge d'erreur au Québec. «La pent
An investigation by Radio-Canada suggests that Dimitri Soudas, Prime Minister Stephen Harper&#;s spokesman, tried to pressure board members of the Montreal Port Authority to name Robert Abdallah, a former director general at Montreal city hall, as its new president.
In a meeting at Le Muscadin, an Italian restaurant in Old Montreal, Soudas made it clear the federal government favoured Abdallah for the position, according to board member Marc Bruneau.
&#;There was certainly interference, because we specifically met on the nomination of the new president,&#; Bruneau told the broadcaster.
The board, however, had other candidates in mind.
Former Tory cabinet minister Michael Fortier also confirmed to Radio-Canada that board members were approached by those claiming &#;Harper preferred Mr. Abdallah.&#;
Soudas told the Star Tuesday evening he did nothing wrong and insisted he was simply communicating to the port authority the government&#;s choice for an appointee.
Radio-Canada reports that Abdallah was also
Renvoi de Dimitri Soudas, «une bonne chose», affirme un ancien conseiller de Stephen Harper
OTTAWA – Le renvoi soudain de Dimitri Soudas, qui était directeur général du Parti conservateur du Canada (PCC) jusqu’à dimanche, est une bonne chose, a affirmé un ancien conseiller du premier ministre Stephen Harper.
«Son départ lance un avertissement aux organisations locales dans les circonscriptions, les bénévoles, etc. pour que le processus de sélection des candidats soit ouvert et franc», a expliqué Keith Beardsley, qui a déjà été chef de cabinet adjoint auprès de M. Harper.
Dimitri Soudas a été congédié, tard dimanche, en raison de soupçons voulant qu’il soit intervenu en faveur de la candidature de son amie, la députée fédérale ontarienne Eve Adams, dans la nouvelle circonscription fédérale d’Oakville-Nord-Burlington aux élections de Mme Adams est députée conservatrice de Mississauga-Brampton-Sud.

MONTREAL &#; A man who was once the preferred candidate of the Prime Minister&#;s Office for the top job at the Port of Montreal says he never found out why he was the favoured one.
Robert Abdallah was Montreal city manager in late when one of Prime Minister Stephen Harper&#;s closest aides, Dimitri Soudas, began telling port board members the bureaucrat was the government&#;s preference for president.
Abdallah said he applied for the job in
&#;I never talked to anybody, I never asked anybody, I met the board, they chose somebody else &#; for me that&#;s the end of the question,&#; he told reporters Thursday.
&#;If somebody made pressure, you have to ask the prime minister why.&#;
Abdallah was speaking at a news conference he called to refute allegations he was involved in corruption in Quebec&#;s construction industry.

Abdallah said he ran into Soudas at social activities &#; &#;once or twice since &#;
&#;Absolutely I met him, but we never talked about the Port of Montreal,&#; he said. &#;I never asked Dimitri Soudas or Senator (Leo) Housakos anyth
