The Ontario premier's spokesperson says Doug Ford and his family haven't been able to get into their house for most of the weekend or Monday due to protesters outside their home.
The Ontario premier’s spokesperson says Doug Ford and his family haven’t been able to get into their house for most of the weekend or Monday due to anti-vaccine protesters outside their home.
Ivana Yelich, director of media relations for Ford, put out a tweet making the claim late on Monday.
Her tweet was in response to another tweet from an account called “Ont. Liberal Party War Room.”
The account had posted a TikTok video in which a woman can be seen inside a car pointing a cellphone camera towards a man in the driver’s seat who asks the premier, “Heading to the cottage?”
The camera points back towards Ford, who is wearing a Warriors football sweater and a mask, and replies: “Yeah, going to the cottage, yeah” at the same time the man interrupts, “For the next lockdown?”
The woman then looks at Ford and says, “That’s fun.”
The video ends immediately after her comment and is only seven seconds long. No other context was provided.
The video is then paired with a comment from the “Ont. Liberal Party War Room” that says “@fordnation has said we’re in war against Omicron. If that’s the case, it would be awfully problematic if the premier went off to his cottage while Ontarians struggle to get boosters and rapid tests. Maybe it’s the reason he won’t recall the legislature?”
