Please... explain why...
I hate to beat a dead mule but Anders...
"the time that someone proposed that
Nelson Mandela be given honorary Canadian citizenship. Now, this doesn't happen often, in fact it had only happened once before. One reason it doesn't happen is that it requires a unanimous vote in the house of commons, and likely the senate as well. Rob Anders, however, was the only MP to vote against the motion, justifying his actions by claiming that Mandela is a "communist and a terrorist". When Mandela tried phoning Anders to talk things out, Anders refused to even take the call."
