This is an hour from me. Whistler is a huge and amazing ski resort.

An American fugitive’s snowboard trip to Whistler was cut short this week, four years to the day after he illegally entered the U.S. Capitol building with throngs of rioters.

Antony Vo, 32, arrived in Whistler on Christmas Eve after reportedly entering the country via Saskatchewan. Claiming political persecution, Vo filed for refugee asylum, as he awaited President-elect Donald Trump to take office and fulfil his promise to pardon the Jan. 6 rioters.

“We can confirm that Mr. Vo, a fugitive from U.S. justice, was arrested without incident in Whistler, B.C. on Jan. 6, 2025 on warrant under the [Immigration and Refugee Protection Act],” a spokesperson for the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) told Pique in a statement.

1. If you are on the lam, FBI is after you, you prance around going on winter vacation?

2. To be fair,

our law enforcement can be kind of inept. Had he not chosen a well known resort he might have made it.

4. I am going to make a note to myself in case the FBI is ever looking for me.

Only go to mid level vacation spots.

8. Generally if you're on the lam you lay low.

This genius didn’t get the memo.

9. This is what I thought. Stay off the radar.

Guy must be banking on a Trump pardon.

10. Oh 100% he is.

And his stupid ass will probably get one. The traitor in chief will have to reward his minions.

11. He might pardon the ones who pay him a nice sum of money.

Trump doesn't do things unless there is something in it for him personally.

Or perhaps as the new mob boss in town he wants to have his own army full
of J6ers.

Of course he probably thinks they are losers for getting arrested.

12. You don't think it was the interview on the CBC that gave it away?

Betting on Trump pardon, convicted Jan. 6 rioter hits the slopes in Canada

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.

3. Refugee status?

Probably following legal advice from a sovereign citizen lawyer.

5. He keeps making one mistake after another.

Most people would say if you are wanted by the FBI, keep a low profile and stay out of the country.

6. He must not have seen Psych!

If he had, he would have known they get their man - even international art thieves like Cary Elwes. This punk was nothing.

7. So he was denied asylum

and arrested as an illegal alien in Canada????

his mother? Did they find him in a rocking chair? 😀
