TORONTO – Walking back his comments from several months ago that young Ontarians are responsible for rising COVID case counts, Premier Doug Ford clarified that it’s not all young people in the province, but just his anti-vaxx daughter Krista.
“I may have painted with too broad a brush when I said that Gen Z and Millennials weren’t following COVID protocols,” said Ford. “What I meant to say is that my millennial daughter Krista is a dangerous propagandist who is using her platform as my daughter to tell people not to wear masks or get the vaccine.”
“It’s honestly pretty crazy the media hasn’t been asking me about her every time she posts a deranged video or speaks at a rally.”
Ford was widely criticized for suggesting young Ontarians don’t care about other people enough to stop the spread of COVID 19. But now that he’s specified it’s only his daughter that is selfish and deranged enough to think that a pandemic which has killed millions is no big deal, people are starting to come around.
“You can always trust Doug to take a stand, after spending about a year tacitly endorsing her actions,” said Oshawa resident Keith Bracken.
In related news, Ford has clarified that he didn’t think all anti-lockdown protestors were a “bunch of yahoos” as some are salt of the earth police officers/bodybuilders/son-in-laws.
