“Ford was taking questions from reporters in Dundalk, Ont., about the provincewide health-care staff shortage and the possibility of privatization when the bee flew into his mouth.
"Holy Christ, I just swallowed a bee," he said, coughing violently.
Members of the audience could be heard expressing their concern for Ford.
After taking a sip of water from a bottle, Ford made light of the situation, saying: "This is going to be played over and over again."
But the discomfort the premier was experiencing was visible.
"Sorry guys. The little bugger got away in there," he said.
Someone from the audience asked if he was all right to continue, to which Ford responded: "I'm OK. It's buzzing in there. ... "Are we gonna get creative? Absolutely. As I mentioned, we just can't as a province keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result.""
Ah. That was great. It's funny because when Ford first got elected, the Toronto Star and the left freaked out about him being Canada's Trump, who would shortly be goose-stepping across the country (this is unfair to Trump, who I don't think has ever been found to have done nearly as many drugs as the Ford boys).
