Brokeback Assholes Anders was first elected in Calgary West in 1997 under the Reform Party and replaced Harper after he left politics to lead the National Citizens Coalition. He framed this coming contest as an age-old battle between Red and Blue Tories. The Red Tories are like a flu that just wont go away, Anders told CBC News in January. But Anders has been involved in a number of controversies in his 17 years on Parliament Hill.He infamously labeled Nelson Mandela a terrorist and a Communist and was the sole parliamentarian to vote against making the anti-apartheid leader an honorary citizen in 2001.After Mandela passed away in December, Anders suggested that his opinion of the man had not changed. Anders was also caught sleeping in the House during question period and was accused of dozing off during a meeting about homeless veterans in 2012.
