This year, 2014, will mark Rob Anders’ 17th year as a Member of Parliament. We think it’s time for a change and the team is in place to make that happen. We would like you to join the movement for change by purchasing a membership and providing us with an email address so we can keep you informed.

I was hoping Liepert wouldn't run - I consider him at best a marginal step up from Anders, but with his name recognition even if someone decent does run he'll probably split the anti-Anders vote.

If Anders is really as protected as it seems, I can see the CPC parachuting him into another safe riding even if he loses the nomination to his current riding.

I don't know - I think Levant is doing more harm to the national discourse as a media pundit, than he ever could as a politician.

I dunno, it seems as though most of the CPC dislikes Anders and just puts up with him because he get's their vote in his riding. I think they would like to see him go.

Levant is politically radioactive. I hope Anders becomes the same.

As I said, it's zombie bin laden. No reason to get upset.

The Figure 11 targets used in the army are pretty much a depiction of a German soldier running at you with a bayonet, and I haven't heard the Germans complain. No real problem with Zombie Bin Laden.

Probably trying to pick up pointers on how to be horrificly incompetent at your job and continue to keep it.

If it was a depiction of a random Muslim, then I could see the hullabaloo, but that is clearly a caricature of bin Laden.
