So began the political life of what was kindly considered a fringe candidate: a transexual political neophyte wading into the elections of Canada's largest city. She was a sideshow at best, some thought. Only Anderson didn't perform to expectations: she surpassed them. Far from the fringe, the former "Supermodel" placed 3rd.

"I was so surprised," Anderson exclaimed. "I hated being portrayed as a fringe candidate. I hated it because I was serious and I presented some really great platforms. It was the media at the time ... if you weren't in that circle of politicians you were considered a fringe candidate. "
