The upcoming Canadian federal election appears to have taken trip to the dark side.

A recent lawn sign in Ontario appears to have not only introduced a new leader, but a new political party as well.

Reddit user ‘massivecoller’ recently posted an image of a campaign poster that appears to be in support of none other than Darth Vader, the former Jedi Knight turned Sith Lord from the Star Wars trilogy.

According to Huffington Post, the lawn sign appeared in Penetanguishene, Ontario, and it even had its own campaign slogan: “together, we can rule the galaxy.”

Along with the photo, the post reads: “Finally, a candidate I can get behind.”

Although the campaign poster is for the fictional “Your Galactic Empire” party, many users couldn’t help but make connections with that of the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC).

“He’s probably more moderate than your local Tory,” read one comment.

“I always knew Darth Vader was a CPC supporter. Not that surprised the CPC has pledged allegiance to him by giving him a running spot,” read another.

“Still a better choice than Harper,” one user said.

Stay tuned, folks. The federal election is roughly two months away and its clear the force is strong with this one.
