Windsor, ON \u2013 Aaron Rexall of Windsor, Ontario was surprised to learn on Monday that he can\u2019t vote in the U.S. election as he is a Canadian citizen and has never had any affiliation with the United States. \u201cI\u2019ve spent the last year updating my Facebook and Twitter accounts with all my political thoughts and ideas on the U.S. election. I was planning on voting for Donald Trump but a friend told me today that I\u2019m not eligible no matter how many\u00a0posts I place on social media\u201d said a disappointed Rexall.

\u201cJust yesterday I spent seven hours debating in the Windsor Star comments section about Hillary Clinton\u2019s email scandal only to find out today that I can\u2019t vote because I was born in Canada and lived my whole life here\u201d Rexall explained. \u201cI\u00a0went to the debate forums at the Rivers Edge and ordered my Make America Great Again hat and t-shirt on-line. Why do they sell the hats and shirts to Canadians if you don\u2019t get to vote?\u201d Rexall questioned while affixing his new Trump bumper sticker to his pick-up truck.<\/p>\n

Now realizing that a hat and bumper sticker do not give him the right to vote Mr. Rexall was asked what his plans were for Election Day now knowing that he can\u2019t vote and replied that he had been planning on watching the election results play-out on CNN but will probably just opt for a re-run of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Network instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
