@toronto.culture: A Canadian man just won a city council seat after campaigning with signs that said “I BARELY WANT TO DO THIS” and “Just trying to pay my rent.”   Brady Rogers, 33, finished fourth out of 37 candidates in Kelowna, B.C.'s October 17 municipal election, receiving 12,635 votes.   His unconventional campaign featured self-deprecating jokes about politics and his qualifications, attracting attention far beyond Canada after a Minnesota influencer helped his signs go viral.   Rogers also finished ahead of longtime incumbent Maxine DeHart, who had served on council since 2011.   Despite the humour, Rogers has explained that his campaign messaging was tongue-in-cheek and that he intends to take his responsibilities seriously.   #Kelowna #BritishColumbia #CanadianNews #ViralNews #TorontoCulture
