   Is there room for another two bitter 'ex' types in Canada who want to target   
   prominent figures?

   Calgary Herald - November 7, 2014   
      
      
   Ousted MP Rob Anders considers new career as critic of politicians   
      
      
   After two nomination losses, Conservative MP Rob Anders is eyeing a career in   
   conservative activism.   
      
   Anders, the MP for Calgary West for the last 17 years, was defeated for the   
   Conservative nomination in the redrawn riding of Calgary Signal Hill by former   
   provincial cabinet minister Ron Liepert in April.   
      
   In September, he lost a bid for the Tory nod in the Bow River riding.   
      
   Speaking to reporters in Ottawa Thursday, Anders did not categorically rule out   
   another political run but suggested his interests now lie elsewhere.   
      
   â€œMy heart is drawn towards a conservative institute that would do training,   
   that would do issues advocacy, that would do rating of politicians in terms of   
   ... how conservative they are,â€� he said.   
      
   Anders said he was not talking about joining an existing group such as the   
   Manning Centre or National Citizens Coalition and said he could    
   €œpotentiallyâ€�   
   start a new organization.   
      
   Anders was first elected to Parliament in 1997, at the age of 25. He is known   
   for his strong social conservative views and gained attention for his sometimes   
   inflammatory statements, including his opposition to granting honorary   
   citizenship to Nelson Mandela, branding the South African leader a communist   
   and a terrorist.
