Yeah ..really..just a distraction...wake up

Little wonder that honey bees are in decline if politicians are eating them as snacks

Excellent, so a bee is not the only one who does not like Doug Ford!

Rest in Ford bee!!!!

How is this news? At least it's not covid fear porn at least ...

It's a mini scoop, maybe 🤔

Hatch.. isn’t in the front…

He should start to flower

Bee was trying to keep our health care in the public sector where it belongs.

Why not do some real news!!

oh well ,that what the Bee 🐝 thought of your privatizing of health care

Hope he gets well

That is so sad and embarrassing, no laughing matter here folks.

Very dangerous and had a friend driving his motorcycle and swallowed one and stung him in throat causing him to go off the road and lost his breathing just by luck he was found and emergency Health Services saved him !

Hey it was a fun moment! Why you hate!

Bee was following the stream of hot air that was spewing out!

Poor bee.

I think the work he’s looking for is Gob it went straight down his gob

A climate ninja bee !

I immediately heard this guy in my head when I seen this

Cbc reports with glee.

He managed the whole thing pretty cool I think . I would have panicked and would have rushed to hospital wondering what the bee is going to do inside me

Renfield. He must have a Mallampati grade 1 pharyngeal airway. Why swallow a bee! It’s like a scene from a horror movie. Hope he’s ok. Maybe he can get one of Mike Harris’ wife’s nurses to do a home visit because his ER is closed.

Serves him right. Even the bee 🐝 knows he’s doing something bad privatizing our Healthcare

I'm surprised CBC wasn't offended by the term bugger

why not cover how unfair his government is being to nurses and education. If you cared as much about a them as you do a bee maybe people would of voted?

Justin Trudeau caused it.

'Building Ontario' by selling health care off to American HMO's so they can charge 10x to run it. Right now you can't see a doctor because of all the cuts. Next year, you won't be able to afford one.

I think they call that Karma

I guess he's now all abuzz!

That must have given quite a buzz!

Guess we know his gag reflexes now eh... 🤷‍♀️🐝

Big mouth, easy target, it stings when you have to swallow your own words....

This is news?

It is no longer a bee. It is now a half a bee. Eric the half a Bee.

Couldn't have happened to a better guy.

How did you like your new futur meal?

Considering Healthcare crisis in Ontario, did Ford, have to wait Hrs? Days? Weeks? Months? Years? To get looked at. Because under health emergency priorities, (no mention of allergic reaction) this should have been at the bottom of requiring medical attention. onpoli

Jesus Christ

Doug Ford can now brag that he is the first Ontario Premier to be cross pollinated.

Shame he wasn't allergic.

TeamBee

I hope he takes the hint. Stop talking about privatizing health care and start talking about how you are going to be fixing the mess we are in.

How does he know it was a Bee Could have been a fly ... We know what they are attracted to !!! It may have even been one of those 'Murder Hornets' .... Now THAT would be a Story !! 🤪

That wasn't a bee, it was a fly. You can see it sitting on his lip seconds before he claims he swallowed it. It went into his mouth for sure but I'm not positive he actually swallowed the fly either.

fordnation seriously? You’re eating pollinators now? What’s next? Small children?

How’s his dog

Ford worked for years on choking and killing the budget of the health sector to make it fail. All in the purpose of justifying Privatization. The great Canadian system that was built by grandparents is being pulled down now by mercenaries for hire.

And you call this news...

Slow news day? May I direct your attention to real news

cancel the useless 413 and fund healthcare + education for the entire province

Ontario didn't vote for privatization

great journalism cbc

BuzzFeed this you?

The guy who likes to bestow the ole American “God bless Ontario” sure was quick to use the lords name in vein wasn’t he..🙄

Hope it was a spelling bee cuz he needs all the linguistic help he can get😊

People on here are so mean. I am not a Doug Ford fan in the least, but I thought he handled this situation very well, and I'm glad he's all right.

Conservatives will swallow anything

Haha

High in protien

Well deserved

Fat bastard was hungry, give him a break

Wow if a beehive grows in his stomach he will for once do something good for the environment

This was incredibly funny. Can't stop laughing but I hope he's OK.

Did he have to wait 15 hours in emergency.

My dog swallowed a bee

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Better than Trudeau. He swallows Klaus...

Typical Politician, doesn’t know when to shut his/her mouth. 🤣🤣

If he had been allergic to the bee he might have been to an ER only to find it closed. Perhaps he might then understand the medical disaster he has created.

Wow that’s scary. But I see the anti everythings are in here whining. Too bad they all couldn’t swallow a bee. Might shut em up for a minute or two.

JC! Karma

The Bee Sacrificed His Life, 2 Stop Ford from Uttering more Bull💩! An Act No Human Has Been Able 2 Accomplish!

Maybe th bee also sent him the honey.

Lies, it was a shit fly.

a buck-a-bee...

istandwiththebee

Having a look at these comments, you liberals are a hate-filled bunch, aren’t you.

Good thing he wasn't allergic and did not need to be rushed to any of our understaffed, hospitals here in Ontario.

Did he get pollinated?

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Wished he needed to go to hospital and hospital was closed bcs of understaffing .

There was an old man who swallowed a bee. I dunno why he swallowed that bee, Perhaps she'll die.

That poor Bee holy shit!! would not want to go down that road … Yuck!!! 🐝 😳

Eat Alberta beef. Don't eat bugs!

There has to be a sign then!

You know, what the bees are attracted to or for what they make a beeline for. Pure Shit.

Have to say Doug Ford handled the situation quite well! Wonder what Trudeau would have done….? I expect the bee would have been arrested and he would say the bee was an actual Conservative attack bee.

Protein

Deserved

Wow... The bee had just one mission. RIP

Well. That was ironic

The bee is giving him a message. Stop building over our habitats. Stop the 413.

'news'

Maybe he will have to go the the ER and see the mess he has made!

'... I'm going to be rushing to the hospital to get this bee out of here ...' That will be a 12 hour wait time Mr. Ford since your incompatance caused all this but if you're willing to pay cash that will be $2000 for the ER visit and we'll get you on your way.

IStandwiththeBee

Easier and better than what ppl from the province has to swallow because of him.

Now, Legault’s turn.

I delivered food item $19.95. we take Visa Mastercard and PayPal

Poor bee 🐝 ☹️

Beelicious!

Very funny

Finally proof that masks work!! 🤣🙄

That was too funny.

Lets start a GoFund Me for the 10000000 grieving siblings left brotherless. Then sue Ford for aggravated assault .

Pence vibes

sdja3 Let's hope the bee is OK, fordnation , no one cares.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Karma Speaking 🐂💩 & he got stung 😂😂😂😂

Thank you, kind bee.

Could have been nasty.... lot's of people have died as a result of just being stung.... let alone in the throat!

Lol

Are we sure it was a bee? Did it sting?

Good maybe it will choke him

And nice language, so befitting a Premier, followed

This gets more coverage from the state broadcaster then all of Trudeau’s on going coverup’s

If this would’ve happened to JustinTrudeau, Canadians would be hearing all about a ban on honey in the works

Good

Finally something shut him up.

Wow taking one for the hive against Envro-Enemy 1. What next Bird Sht? I cant wait

Not fun(ny) at all 🤭🫣

That bee would still be alive if only he had been wearing his mask of obedience.

It's going to make honey in his tummy

How is this news?

The bee must have been attracted to all the Bull shit that comes from his mouth.

when multiply

poor bee.

I feel sad for the bee
