Scott, an independent who is running to represent a region of rural British Columbia in the October 19 vote, posted the attention-grabbing video on YouTube in mid-June, but it went viral this week after being shared widely in online forums.
The promotional video also sees him destroying a giant robot with lasers from his eyes.
But the clip is about more than gimmicks - Scott advocates for the expansion of healthcare services and the rights of Indigenous people, while stating that "university is too damn expensive".
"I'm here to fight for Canada," he said.
"... Change is coming to Canada and I'm here to lead that charge. Are you ready for the shift?"
The clip has been watched more than 600,000 times and attracted hundreds of comments.
"You're my new hero! I hope you kick ass sir!!" one commenter wrote, while another asked "is it possible if I can vote for you rather than any other candidates in the US???"
