It really ****ed me off that Rob Anders didn't show up for the candidate debate at the U of C the other day. That was a real arrogant move. I'm suprised that the Conservatives haven't culled him from the roster but I think he's too much of a wildcard and they feel that if they punt him he will stir up too much you know what.

Apparently, Conservative candidates never attend the U of C debate, because it is considered to only be a forum where the SU and the left wing parties just attack them mercilessly. I don't know this for a fact, this is just what I heard.
I don't like Rob Anders, but not showing up might be better press than the smear the SU and the Lib/NDP/Green/Communist (!) tag-team assault.
