Canadian Candidate Goes Viral After Turning Defaced Campaign Signs Into Hilarious Viral Video
But instead of calling for a crackdown on the jokesters, Kearns decided to join in on the joke.
In a video Kearns shared on her social media, the Burlington mayoral candidate stands with two of her defaced signs to give voters information about online voting.
You can see her Facebook post here:
In it, the camera first focuses on a campaign sign where Kearns' front teeth have been blacked out in a typical defacement of a person's smiling face. The camera then pans up to Kearns, who shows that her own teeth have been blackened to match the vandalized sign located on a busy street.
Kearns greets Burlingtonians then cheekily says:
"...you've seen me around town running to be your next mayor."
The scene then shifts to a large yard sign that appears to be in a park or someone's front lawn. On this one, the graffiti artist gave Kearns a unibrow and a mustache.
When the camera pans up, Kearns again sports the same adornments.
Without any change in her delivery, Kearns lets voters know how they can get free information about online voting, an option in Burlington, Ontario.
Kearns told The Hamilton Spectator:
"We know that a minority of signs in an election campaign can be vandalized, stolen or damaged. And we know that this is unacceptable on every front."
"We just did what felt natural and added some levity and … some humanity at a time when we were seeing low voter turnout."
People loved how Kearns handled the situation with humor instead of anger or reprisals.

While Kearns took the vandalism in stride, according to Inside Halton, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) reminded residents that "damaging, removing, defacing, stealing or interfering with election signs" could lead to possible criminal charges.
CNN picked up the story, giving Kearns a chance to share her experience after choosing to handle the attacks on her campaign with humor.
You can see CNN's coverage here:
Kearns created another tongue-in-cheek video to address any concerns about her credentials.
In-person municipal voting is today, October 26, in Burlington, Ontario, with results of the mayor's race expected shortly after.
Christina Ricci Just Dropped A Brutal Truth Bomb On A 71-Year-Old MAGA Voter—And Fans Are Applauding
She added:
"We don't want a communist representing us. We are MAGA. And we won't bend to them."
Sure, Jan. She clearly has had no problem with the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and flagrant human rights violations. We shudder to think about what she has to say about the Epstein files scandal or the fact that President Donald Trump launched a war with Iran that has worsened an already punishing affordability crisis.
Without missing a beat, Ricci responded:
"So you're a sadist then? You enjoy other people suffering? Because that's what you voted for- more cruelty and suffering for your fellow human beings. And animals actually."
You can see the post and Ricci's response below.

People appreciated Ricci's bluntness and had thoughts of their own to share.
This isn't the first time Ricci has gone viral for her social media game.
Over the summer, she had fans cackling with her response after MAGA influencer Andrew Tate was arrested alongside his brother Tristan for rape and trafficking and took to social media to complain about his jail conditions.
Tate took to X to complain about jail conditions, writing that he has "no contact with the outside world" above a Community Note that points out that publishing social media posts counts as "contact with the outside world."
After the update was shared on Threads, Ricci—the national spokesperson for the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN)—responded, "I feel better, thanks!" to the delight of her fans and advocates.
NBA Star Sparks Backlash After Saying That Changing His Infant Son's Diapers Is 'Not My Job'
When Johnson asked whether Ball changes diapers for his 9-month-old son, LaOne, the basketball star made his position abundantly clear.
Ball revealed who handles diaper duty in his household:
“Nah, my girl, do all that. It’s love, for sure…”
Ball shares his son with girlfriend Ana Montana, whose real name is Analicia Chaves. The model and fashion influencer has more than 3 million followers on Instagram.
The couple welcomed LaOne in January 2026 but waited until May to publicly announce his arrival. They also launched I Am Fertility, a nonprofit supporting women navigating fertility and IVF journeys.
Ball shares a moment with his son on Instagram:
Seriously, look at that precious little face. Who wouldn't want to keep that adorable little tush clean?
Back in the interview, Johnson reminded Ball that he didn't know what he was missing by skipping diaper duty. But the point guard insisted that he and Montana had their parenting responsibilities figured out.
Ball described the couple's household game plan:
“She do all that, you know what I’m saying? We got a good game plan going on.”
Apparently, the game plan involves Montana handling the dirty work while Ball stays comfortably out of the diaper-changing rotation. And while he acknowledged changing diapers before, he wasn't about to let anyone confuse that with an ongoing obligation.
The NBA star doubled down on his position:
“I’ve definitely did it before, [but] it’s just not my job. You know what I’m saying? It’s not my job.”
Because apparently, becoming a father doesn't automatically come with changing-table responsibilities.
Watch Ball discuss his parenting arrangement below:

Montana, meanwhile, has publicly celebrated motherhood, sharing affectionate messages about LaOne since announcing his arrival.
But the model has also faced legal trouble. On September 30, 2026, Montana was arrested and booked into the Mecklenburg County jail in North Carolina on felony drug charges following a months-long pharmacy investigation, according to OutKick. Her defense team insisted she neither forged paperwork nor fabricated prescriptions and believed the order was legitimate.
Montana also shared a moment with their son on Instagram:
Of course, Ball isn't the first celebrity father to publicly distance himself from diaper duty.
Rapper Nelly previously sparked controversy after suggesting he wouldn't change his son's diapers on Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together. He later clarified to People that he was joking and had changed diapers.
Robert De Niro also acknowledged that girlfriend Tiffany Chen handles much of the childcare for their daughter, while Matthew McConaughey previously admitted that he wasn't changing his newborn son's diapers.
Here's what makes the diaper-changing debate particularly infuriating: Mothers don't get to opt out of postpartum recovery. After childbirth, some women face physical complications, hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, postpartum anxiety, or postpartum depression. Those challenges can make an already demanding period even harder.
Yet certain fathers still speak about changing diapers as though it's an unreasonable burden rather than one of the most basic ways to care for their children. The baby has two parents. Diaper duty shouldn't fall to just one of them.
And social media had plenty to say about Ball's definition of teamwork:

Meanwhile, Ball's first game with the Minnesota Timberwolves went considerably better than his public-relations performance.
Minnesota opened the 2026–27 season with a dominant 131–106 victory over the Miami Heat. Ball contributed 21 points, 6 assists, and 2 steals, while Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves with 45 points.
But Ball also attracted attention for an apparent traveling violation that officials missed during the second quarter. Replays showed the point guard seemingly taking several extra steps before launching a three-pointer.
The Timberwolves may have championship ambitions, but Ball still doesn't have an NBA championship ring.
And while he apparently got away with a few extra steps on the basketball court, taking a few steps toward his son's changing table seems to be another matter entirely.
