I begrudgingly supported Anders for years because of party, not because he was the best representative of my riding.
My philosophy was the opposite. There were elections I wanted to vote CPC but refused to put a check next to Anders' name. I joined the party in early 2014 with the new riding for the sole purpose of picking Liepert instead of Anders.

Now that I think about it, that was the vote that mattered in Calgary Signal Hill, as it's going blue.
