Drama at AMO

Also: Ford's privatization buzz, staff moves, lobbying the feds

ABOVE THE FOLD

Drama is already brewing at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario’s annual conference — but first, catch up on Premier DOUG FORD’s buzzworthy presser on health care privatization.

The buzz: Ford was taking health-care related questions from reporters at a press conference in Dundalk when a bee flew into his mouth.

“Holy Christ — I just swallowed a bee,” the Premier said, later noting the potential for a viral moment. “This is going to be played over and over again.” Ford said he’ll be “rushing to the hospital to get this bee out of here” but it isn’t clear if that happened.
