We are two worlds apart — Ontario and Quebec — yet Backstreet Boys member AJ McLean's promise to run for mayor of Montreal just to get rid of all the orange traffic cones can really reach any heart.

The boy bander is in la belle province to launch the third season of TV series The Fashion Hero — where unconventional models compete to become the face of ad campaigns for renowned brands — at Pangea Restaurant tonight, and he's seemingly feeling pretty heroic himself, telling followers on his Instagram Stories that he's going to run for mayor to eradicate the city's surplus of fluorescent construction markers.

"You guys have a serious problem with these orange cones," McLean spoke into a smartphone in the clip, although suspiciously not the one filming the video of him. "Like seriously, orange cones everywhere. So because of that, I'm gonna run for mayor of Montreal 2024–2025. AJ for Mayor!"

He continued, "And as my first duty, I'm getting rid of the orange cones. We're gonna make pink cones, and way less cones. Cones, cones, cones. The cones gotta go. Vote for AJ!"

The Instagram account @fucknomtl reposted McLean's video, remarking that the Backstreet Boy must have spent a fair amount of time in the city — he pronounces "Montreal" like a local.
