Michael van Holst—a Canadian politically conservative councilman for Ward 1 in London, Ontario—got more than he bargained for when canvassing in one neighborhood.

Van Holst is currently campaigning for another term on the city council. But he was not greeted positively by one woman who answered her door only to succinctly call him out for being an anti-vaxxer.

You can watch the encounter in the video below.

Van Holst had barely greeted the woman before she responded:

"Oh, you're the anti-vaxxer guy?"
"Get f**ked."

Van Holst later scoffed at the encounter, suggesting the woman who told him off is in the minority, saying he gets angrily dismissed by prospective voters in Ward 1 just once or twice a day.

Matt Farrell, a political scientist at Fanshawe College, later commented on the video pointing out a person "can’t be a lightning rod that courts controversy and then expect that it won’t catch up with you in some manner."

The video quickly went viral and many praised the woman's directness.



Van Holst has been described as an "outspoken and eccentric councillor over the course of his two terms in office" according to The London Free Press.

The paper noted he has a history of pushing back against climate change policies and water flouridation in addition to promoting COVID-19 disinformation.

Recently van Holst was "found to have violated four elements of council’s code of conduct" because he promoted a “creed” as a method of avoiding COVID-19 vaccine requirements, including those for city workers.

Van Holst also was a speaker at an anti-lockdown protest.

The London City Council ultimately voted not to punish van Holst for his behavior, a move mired in controversy because he was the deciding vote on whether or not he should face any consequences.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
