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.

Medic: Please, was it the Do-Bee or the Don’t-Bee. It makes a difference in emergency intervention.

I guess there was a reason for the new Series with Mr. Bean: “Man Vs. Bee”...:)

I know. I shouldn’t laugh, but...there is something about it that makes one irreverent. Must be the Internets.

Funny headline, reminds me of this:

“Jerry, it’s Frank Costanza George is dead and Mr Steinbrenner is here.”

Click.

It’s not that funny, you can die from this. It doesn’t happen often, but it happens. Hope he’s okay.

Dismantling excessive government is always a good thing.

If you look carefully, you can see the bee fly into his mouth.

He did handle it quite well, I must say.

If you look closely, you can see the bug fly right into his mouth in the first few seconds of the video. I doubt it was a bee, maybe a fly.

Dang! He sure was a good sport about it. And in true Canadian fashion, he even apologized for it.

I hope he’s OK.

(Am I a bad person for wishing that had happened to Justin Trudeau instead?)

“Man vs. Bee” is hysterically funny. Love Rowan Atkinson!

The main people who benefit from the way health care services are delivered in this country are simply the clerical and janitorial support staff who are in turn represented by groups like CUPE and OPSEU and other such provincial counterparts. They in turn negotiate pay rates and benefits that are that good bit more generous than what such staff would get in the private sector.

I figured "swallowed a bee" was Canadian for said something controversial.

"Holy Christ, I just swallowed a bee," he said, coughing violently.

Or as his late brother might have said, "Holy Shnikey."
