Ontario’s always colorful Premier Doug Ford made headlines this afternoon. Why you ask? Because…
Holy Christ! This afternoon Doug Ford swallowed a bee on CPAC.
Ford was in Dundalk, Ontario to announce an investment of $500,000 in the Ontario-based company Greenlid, which produces compostable and sustainable products. And unknown to the bee, they would soon meet their demise in the back of the Premier’s throat.
Twitter is, of course, buzzing with Bee jokes.
Damn communist bees and their workers rights agenda just launched an attack on Doug.

This is barely news, but Doug Ford swallowed a bee during a live news conference.

Luckily he didn’t need to be rushed to the nearest open hospital ER, where a regular person would probably have to wait many hours for treatment. #cdnpoli #onpoli #TeamBee pic.twitter.com/qNRyFksbdN
If only Doug was wearing a mask, he’d win over some liberals. And have fewer bees in his mouth.

I wish I was in this room:
Waiting room in the hospital emerg – the clip of Doug Ford swallowing a bee was shown on the TV – everyone in the waiting room burst out laughing. I can’t remember when I last was part of such a spontaneous response.

The Deep Dive has attempted to contact the Queen Bee for comment at the time of publishing but has not received a response. Sources tell us she is in Sting-a-pore.
