Well that's interesting!
Anderson, the Alberta NDP MLA for Leduc-Beaumont from 2015 to 2019, was noticed for his pronounced facial hair when he was elected, bringing National Post columnist Jen Gerson to refer to it as "the most conspicuous and healthy beard seen in Canadian politics this side of the 19th century."
