Pizza Hut Canada Threw Shade At Ford After Ontario's COVID-19 Restrictions Announcement

The province is just barely a week into the new year and Ontario is already looking at one of the first random Twitter feuds for 2022.

Following Premier Ford's announcement about the modified step two of reopening coming to the province, Pizza Hut Canada decided to take the opportunity to poke some fun at the premier.

When talking about school closures on January 3, Ford stated, "You know, this took me about 30 seconds to make a decision. It was a decisive decision."

"After Ontario Premier, Doug Ford, dropped the term 'decisive decision' during yesterday's Covid-19 press conference, social media immediately began talking about his non-sensical language. Within minutes, Ogilvy Toronto concepted and created a post for Pizza Hut Canada's Twitter account," Ryan Chiasson, the associate creative director at Ogilvy told Narcity.

"Need to decide on a decision for dinner? Let’s get decisive when you decide, because this dinner is a decisive decision," read the post.

The tongue-in-cheek solution for not only what could be considered as commonly experienced dilemma on what to have for dinner was also a subtle jab at Ontario's premier and it quickly blew up on Twitter.

"Meanwhile, Pizza Hut is now subtweeting the Premier of Ontario. What a time to be alive," one Twitter user wrote, while another shared they might actually order a pie since Pizza Hut Canada was "mocking" Ford.

It even captured the attention of Ontario Liberal Leader, Steven Del Duca, who replied to Pizza Hut Canada's tweet with a picture of himself with his children with a pizza box and the caption: "We made our decision in 30 seconds."

As of January 5, new COVID-19 restrictions came into effect for Ontario, which cut gathering limits, shuttered gyms and indoor dining at restaurants and bars, as well as swapped students back to remote learning for at least two weeks.

The current public health measures are currently expected to lift in 21 days on January 26, pending the province's epidemiological situations at the time.
