Doug Ford just swallowed a bee while talking about the possibility of privatizing health care

Ontario Premier Doug Ford found himself in a squishy situation on Friday when a bee entered his mouth and got down his throat.

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.

Yikes! bug allergies can be fatal.

True. I'm sorry I made fun. A woman in my apartment building a few years ago was allergic to bee stings and spent time inside as they circled around just outside her closed patio door.

I shouldn't have made a joke.

To some people, everything that flies is a bee. I suspect it wouldn’t be buzzing around in there were it a bee, it would deliver a sting.

To be fair, he’s a good deal better than the last few clowns, who have been in charge of Ontario, but that’s not saying all that much as, to be perfectly frank, that bar has been set awful low in the last couple of decades...

My brother had one fly up under his bathing trunks when he was about two and bite him “there.” It looked awful, and he still has no children...

Very dangerous. I can’t stand Doug Ford but I hope they get a chance to vote him out rather than have a bee get him out of office. LOL!

Does the Canadian socialist healthcare cover swallowing a bee?

Definitely looks like a honeybee. When I was a little kid, I remember getting an orange soda from a vending machine at the zoo. There were bees flying all around the machine. When I took the first sip I felt something big and fuzzy in my mouth and spit it out. It was a bumblebee! Must have flown into the can right before I took that sip.

Didn’t get stung, but have never forgotten that. I definitely never leave a can of soda unattended when I’m outside.

Was it a male bee or a female bee or a trans bee? It does matter. What if were a male bee identifying as a female bee? This might have broken some laws, especially if the proper pronouns were not used

A couple jiggers of gin should take care of that.

Good luck getting health care. They’ll put him on a waiting list.

sexual identification of bees....

Maybe involved in a “honey trap.”

Definition:
A scenario in espionage whereby an agent enters into a romantic or sexual relationship with a civilian and seeks to leverage that intimacy to coerce or blackmail the target or to discover secret information.

Hunter: Yeah, I know about that. Dad makes one phone call and I’m out looking for dope again. Big deal.

I know an old lady who swallowed a fly
I don’t know why she swallowed the fly
I guess she’ll die

Too bad Ford did not bring along a dog. The dog could have stepped on the bee.
