I wonder if people are going to blow up facebook and twitter with posts about how he will be missed.

Well a certain Canadian conservative member of parliament won't be shedding any tears.

In 2001, the Federal Government decided to give Mandela honorary Canadian citizenship, making him only the second foreigner to receive such an honour. Deepak Obhrai, the Conservative MP for Calgary East, announced that Mandela was "Not only...an international symbol of resistance to prejudice and injustice, but...also a symbol for peace and forgiveness."

Rob Anders disagreed, calling Mandela, "a communist and a terrorist," decrying Mandela as "the politically correct Left-lib poster boy of today", and predicting that he would be forgotten in 30 years.

Vote Out Anders!

Idiots like this guy are why the world still needs people like Mandela.

Here's hoping his legacy will live on.

Rob Anders is an embarassment on the level of Rob Ford...

Nelson Mandela was excellent in Shawshank Redemption.

To take it even further, I haven't heard any talk about the thousands of other people that have died today, and the day before that, and the day before that......

You mean to tell me that society is driven by celebrities, and the things that happen to them in their private lives?

This is news to me.

To be fair though, let's say Crosby died in a car accident, and some other Joe Schmo died with him.

Do you think the person who posts a thread talking about it will say, "Sidney Crosby Dies In Car Accident", or "Sidney Crosby and Joe Schmo Die In Car Accident"?

Just saying yo.

Dany Heatley and Dan Snyder come to mind, but Heatley didn't die obviously.
