It's probably the most unusal thing drivers will see when traveling across Canada but Vincent Gabriel Kirouac, 22, has taken on a mission and the stares don't phase him. The Quebec native believes in what he is doing and he's having fun doing it. He has donned a real suit of armor, mounted his trusty steed, and is riding across the entire country, teaching others about politeness and the value of chivalry along the way. Vincent doesn't just like the costume however, he thinks of himself as a real modern day knight in armor. Whether you believe he's right or not, there's something charming about this modern day Don Quixote and his mission to promote integrity, kindness, and politeness. He has had no problems with finding lodging each night either as he simply rides to a nearby farm, knocks on the door, and asks if he can find shelter there. According to Vincent, the repsonse has universally been curiosity followed by welcome.
