GiornoWatch: Well, since we’re on the GEDS site anyway …

… why not cast a curious eye on the other changings of the guard underway over at PMO?

UPDATED: Sterling, Cooper … Giorno? ITQ investigates the shadowy world of PMO’s in-house ad shop

As GiornoWatch enthusiasts no doubt recall from previous dispatches, the fact that PMO has its very own in-house advertising department — or advertising and market research unit, to use its official title — is not, technically, news — not, at least, to those with a borderline obsessive interest in the ins and outs of Langevinian palace intrigue.

UPDATED: GiornoWatch: Just when you thought it was safe to stop checking GEDS daily

(Note: This was originally written as an update to the ongoing Senate speculation liveblog, but I figured it really deserved its own post.)

UPDATED: Langevin, we have a problem

Harper gets misinformation, attacks Ignatieff with it—and aide Dimitri Soudas is to blame

GiornoWatch: Pack your bags, random ministerial senior staffer, you’re going to …

… wherever the Giornorganizer General tells you to go, that’s where.

GiornoWatch: So this is how the world ends / not with a bang but a GEDS edit.

A moment of respectful silence, then, for the once (and, let’s not kid ourselves here, most likely someone’s future) Dark Lord of Nanodemographia, Patrick Muttart, now just another Deputy Chief of Staff, relegated to the GEDSpocrypha without even a capital-O Office or Organization to call his own.

UPDATED – GiornoWatch Family Day Edition: C’mon, baby, let the nonpartisan times roll!

It may be Family Day in Ontario, but it’s business as usual for the data entry crew over at Langevin Block, where the newly appointed, ostensibly non(or at least slightly less than hypermanic)partisan Paul Wilson has finally turned up in GEDS, where he is now listed as director of policy, just as foretold by the oracles of the Globe’s parliamentary bureau.

GiornoWatch: The rise and fall of the Muttartian Empire

A glance at the Government Electronic Directory Services indicates some interesting changes

UPDATED! GiornoWatch 2009 – The New New New Spirit of Giornorganization.

UPDATE – Wow, that was fast. As of this afternoon, Darrel Reid – who really has to figure out how he wants to spell his name and let the folks at GEDS in on the secret – is no longer listed as a director at Policy, but is now a (or possibly the) Deputy Chief of Staff under Strategy, which could auger the beginning of the end of the Muttartian era. ITQ will keep you posted.
