(KGTV) — A story that seems hard to believe claims a man made history this week by receiving zero votes in a federal election in Canada.
It's actually true.
Félix-Antoine Hamel was one of 84 candidates in a house seat election in Toronto-St. Paul.
It's the first time a candidate failed to get a single vote in a contested federal election in Canada's history.
Hamel couldn't even vote for himself because he doesn't live in the city.
The musician says he only ran as a protest over Canada's system, which doesn't require a candidate to get a majority of votes to win.
He calls himself the true unity candidate since everyone agreed not to vote for him.
