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.

Trump Official Tries To Claim Antifa Is Top National 'Threat'—Then Flails Over Simple Questions

Michael Glasheen, the operations director of the National Security Branch, was criticized after he told members of Congress that Antifa is "the most immediate violent threat" to the U.S. and could not answer simple questions to justify his claim.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target. Despite this, President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order declaring it a "domestic terror organization," a move that's been celebrated by his supporters.

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was widely mocked after she was caught on video trying to get her congressional aides into a holiday party hosted by disgraced former New York Republican Representative George Santos in Washington, D.C., after the bouncer denied them entry.

Santos' political career was derailed by allegations of fabricating his background, misusing campaign funds for luxury items and Botox, and leaving a trail of victims behind him as a known fraud and identity thief. He has been soaking up attention since President Donald Trump commuted his prison sentence a couple of months ago.

Amanda Seyfried Refuses To Back Down After Calling Charlie Kirk 'Hateful': 'I'm Not F—king Apologizing'

Actor Amanda Seyfried said she has no plans to apologize after calling the assassinated far-right activist Charlie Kirk "hateful," telling Who What Wear that she merely "said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes."

Kirk was assassinated in September while speaking at a university in Utah; the suspect was caught after a two-day manhunt and has since been charged. The Trump administration has used Kirk's murder as an opportunity to crack down on free speech and to target leftists even though the shooter is aligned with the far-right.
