Canadian Wheat Board Comment Controversy
In October 2011, Anderson mocked Canadian Wheat Board officials on his official Conservative party website by posting a video in which national leader of Canadian Inuit Mary Simon immediately denounced for the repeated use of a racial slur. In the video, Anderson uses a pejorative term that is derogatory towards aboriginal peoples in Canada, Eskimo, to suggest that the Canadian Wheat Board officials and in turn Inuit, sound foreign and make no sense.
