Independent B.C. candidate rides a goose in wild campaign video

If the list of qualities youlookfor in a federal MPincludes "tough on killer robots," "can grow a beard instantly," and "hasexperience riding Canada geese," then Wyatt Scott ofMission, B.C. may be the candidate for you.

This ad was produced by independent candidate Wyatt Scott.It is embedded here for informational purposes anddoes not constitute an endorsementby CBC News.

Afreshly-released campaign video fromthe 38-year-old small business ownerexplains thatScott is running for Parliament in thenew riding of Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon.

"I'm an independent candidate," he says in thevideo while hurtling through the air with his sword drawn after jumping fromthe back of agiantCanada goose."And I'm here to fight for Canada!"

He then falls directlyonto a dragon, stabbing itthrough the head.

The zaniness only ramps up from there with the appearance of friendly aliens, giant robots and multiple people falling from the sky over the course of just 63 seconds.

Betweenshooting lasers from his eyes and growing an instant beard, Scott does pause a few timesto talk about his platform.

"University is too damn expensive," he says at one point. "Services like health care and social programs should be expanded, not cut ...The indigenous people aren't even protected by their own government."

While the video itself is morereminiscent of an Old Spice commercial than a traditional campaign ad, itappears to have struck a chord with manyCanadians on Twitter.

Will the people ofMission-Matsqui-FraserCanyon actually vote for Scott based on his dragon-slaying antics?

That remains to be seen. As he says in the video's description:"We all know politics are corrupt so lets do something about it.Put an independent in the house."

Scott told the National Postthat he was at least partly motivatedto run as an independent by an experience with the Liberal Party of Canada. Scott told the paper thathe helped his friendRhett Nicholson campaign for the Liberal nomination in MissionMatsquiFraser Canyon and felt the result, a win forlocal businessman Jati Sidhu, was unfair.

Scott told The Province that he previously worked for the B.C. NDP.
