Tyler Lemco, a rapper, writer and former member of EpicMealTime, insists there was no deeper political message behind his five posters, which bear his face along with his name and the slogan, "Not running for anything, I just wanted a sign."
"I saw a lot of Liberal signs up. They looked ominous and creepy. So I decided to try my own and send them to my friends," he said.
Lemco said his five signs each cost about $20.
"I decided to cap the expenses at $100, because how much money do you want to spend on a joke?" he said.
However, Lemco said he is considering spending further money to replace signs that were taken down.
"I think all of the signs got taken down. Maybe there's one left. I might put up some more, but I won't make a new sign. I don't trust myself to make another good sign. I'm not a graphic designer," he said.
Lemco said that while he isn't seeking office, he does have a message for voters: "I want everyone to know that anything is possible as long as you're not really trying to do anything," he told the National Post.
