A man convicted and sentenced to nine months in jail for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol is snowboarding in Whistler, B.C. Though Antony Vo says he expects a full pardon from U.S. president-elect Donald Trump once he takes office, he is also seeking asylum in Canada.

Trump throws people away after they’re no longer useful to him. Bet on it.

Deport his fascist ass out of Canada immediately.

He's filed for refugee status, so now we have to run him through that whole process.

As someone who works a lot with refugees, I'm not sure I can really express the rage I have that magats feel entitled to take up space in this specific system Canadians have put our collective dollars toward, especially when it's all SO overburdened already. The idjit grinning as he explains to the reporter, "maybe I'll be a refugee, might delete later, idk" when I know actual war resisters and people escaping torture in their home countries sleeping rough on a freezing cold night in the city? And this douche is snowboarding?

I'm sure most Canadians would physically remove the man back to the USofA ourselves if we could. These people are obscene.

Deplorable, even.

So what he was charged for was not a crime in Canada?
