Someone Is Pretending To Be Doug Ford On Twitter & The Tweets Are LOL

If you've encountered some unusual Twitter activity from the Premier of Ontario, know that the account you're seeing might be a parody page.

Someone on the Internet made a Doug Ford parody page, and the tweets are hilarious. The account, which has a Twitter handle of DougFord_ON, is also verified, making the page even funnier.

The page's description states, "This is a parody account. I don't know what that word means but I do know that I am the Premier of Ontario. I work till midnight every night."

The first tweet dates back to August 23, when the creator posted, "'I'll huff and I'll puff": Are cannabis retailers the real 'Big Bad Wolf' of the Canadian housing market?" But the tweet didn't get a lot of attention.

Fast forward to a tweet from Thursday, November 10, 2022, when the Premier's troll got over 14.6K likes, nearly 3,000 retweets, and so many comments.

The tweet states: "Folks, apparently there's a lot of sick kids in Ontario right now. If you've got a sick kid, I want you to know that I do not want them anywhere near my cottage."

Some people have been bashing the Premier in the comments because they didn't know the account was fake.

"'Apparently' as if nurses and doctors haven't been screaming it the whole time. Way to ensure an entire generation of kids gets exposed to something with no researched long-term effects 👍🏻 doing great Dougie," one person said. But thankfully, someone else replied, "It's a parody account."

A pinned tweet on the account is also gaining a lot of attention. Apparently, the Premier needs a sammie from Timmies and stat. LOL!

"I NEED A REAL EGG SAMMIE FROM TIMMIES OR IM GUNNA BLOW A GASKET," it states.

OCAD kids might not be so happy to know that the fake Doug Ford Twitter account isn't a fan of their art.

There are a whole bunch of tweets on the Doug Ford parody account, and some of the topics include schools, Remembrance Day and even his famous pumpkin carving video.

Not sure how long the account will stay active, though, because, on Thursday, Elon Musk tweeted, "Going forward, accounts engaged in parody must include 'parody' in their name, not just in bio."

"To be more precise, accounts doing parody impersonations. Basically, tricking people is not ok."

Also, you might be wondering how the parody account got a verified blue tick, well it might be because Musk introduced a new Twitter service that allows users to be verified for $8 a month!

Lower courts' reasoning 'neuters' Emergencies Act, government tells Supreme Court

Courts' reasoning 'neuters' Emergencies Act: feds
THE CANADIAN PRESS/Justin Tang

The federal government says the courts engaged in "second-guessing with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight" when they ruled it lacked legal justification to use the Emergencies Act four years ago to quell protests.

Lawyers for the government make the argument in a submission seeking a Supreme Court of Canada hearing of the federal case for invoking the emergencies law to deal with protest actions in the national capital and at key border points.
