I'd love to know what those "damaging papers" have to say.

Having said that, I've never understood how Anders got re-elected in the first place (Getting elected I can understand, re-elected has always baffled me) - the man's an obvious dolt.

In any other major Canadian city, Anders would be correctly viewed as a pathetic, mean-spirited, dishonest right-wingnut, and would certainly not earn the trust of voters to be re-elected. But hey, this is Calgary, where unfortunately voters are incapable of electing anything but Conservatives (Reform, Alliance, take your pick). Even when he completely ignored voters in Calgary West last January (by refusing to attend any debates), he STILL got re-elected by a large margin.

This arrogant attitude towards his own constituents, along with his insulting remarks about Nelson Mandela and his opposition to all rights for gays (NOT just same-sex marriage) makes him one of the most loathsome Canadian MPs I can think of. And the controversy over his nomination process only makes me more angry. I only hope this court case will force Anders to step down and give him and Harper the negative publicity they deserve. Hey, we might even see the two Calgary newspapers stop fawning all over their beloved Conservatives, if even for a moment.
