Things I can't believe except I can

sabotabbyDoug Ford's response to people objecting to martial law and no paid sick days was to go into hiding.
Then he claimed he was exposed to covid from a staffer and was self-isolating, even though he'd tested negative.
Except the timing doesn't work out. He was in hiding before the staffer's positive test, and he was tested too soon after for the results to be accurate.
Most of all, people pointed out that he himself is taking advantage of paid sick leave, a necessity that he denies to essential workers who are risking their lives and health. In fact, he is making more in one day of isolation than someone on disability makes in an entire month. And he's on his third consecutive paid sick day.
That's not even the hilarious part. What's hilarious is the reason he was out of touch: His staff needed to get him a laptop and teach him how to use it. He still uses a 2014 Blackberry for his shitposting needs, and doesn't know how to use a computer.
This is a man who lambasts the public on not being able to navigate the byzantine system(s) for booking vaccines in Ontario, who believes in forced elearning for all students, who talks about being a businessman and open for business. He's a millionaire. He doesn't know how to use a computer. He claimed it was because he was an ancient 56, so now #hes56 is trending on Twitter.
Meanwhile, there's a 22.4% positivity rate in Brampton.
This is like Rob Ford but way less funny because Rob Ford only killed, like, the one dude.
