Brady Rogers campaign signs are the most honest advertising I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of advertising, most of it for buffets. Rogers ran for Kelowna City Council in British Columbia with slogans like “Fine. I’ll do it.” and “How hard could it be?” On October 17, the voters basically said okay, buddy, you asked for it.
The Signs Did All the Campaigning
The whole platform fits on a lawn sign, which is more than I can say for my New Year’s resolutions. Every sign has the same Okanagan Lake postcard background, the same Dadlife T-shirt and the same face of a man who just got volunteered for a group project. Several of them say “City Coucil,” and one says “City Counsil,” which I am choosing to believe is part of the bit.
The joke landed hardest out in the wild, planted on lawns next to regular candidates with regular smiles. One sign even bragged that he is “Under 60!” in a little starburst, which is the bar I set for my own doctor. My favorite promise is the one that says he’ll fix everything, with the terms and conditions right there in small print, like a cell phone plan.
Wait, There’s a Website?
Of course there’s a website. Scan the QR code and you get an FAQ that answers “Do I enjoy politics?” and “Do I know what I’m doing?” with no and no, then asks if he’s qualified and answers “Also no.” It’s the first political FAQ I have ever read that answered the actual question.
Under the jokes, there’s an actual guy with actual priorities. Rogers co-founded a Kelowna company that makes products out of discarded plastic, and in an Instagram reply he said he wants better public transit, more accessible addiction and mental health treatment, and homelessness that is easier to escape. That’s more of a platform than I had for my last birthday party.
Who Else Wants Brady Rogers Campaign Signs in Their Town?
Most of the reaction online was pure envy. One viral reply called him the first politician whose promises they actually believe, and Josh Christiane announced a bold new strategy called being honest for once. When Jas Johal welcomed the new councillor with the vote totals, somebody replied that they might have to move there, which is the most Canadian threat I have ever heard.
Fine. He’s Doing It.
So how did it actually go? In an unofficial count, Kelowna elected a self-described unqualified candidate: Rogers finished fourth of 37 candidates running for eight council seats, with 12,635 votes. His Instagram bio now calls him a Reluctant City Councillor, and his victory video had the energy of a guy who just realized he has homework.
So here’s my question for you: would you vote for the candidate who promises to fix everything, or the one who admits he’s just trying to pay his rent? Because I know which one I trust with the pothole budget.
