Doug Ford Distances Himself From Woman Known For Extreme Views After Opposition Questions

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 26 Sep, 2018 12:49 PM
    TORONTO — Ontario Premier Doug Ford is distancing himself from a Toronto woman known for her extreme views after repeated Opposition questions about a photograph he took with her.
     
     
    Ford says on Twitter that he condemns hate speech, anti-Semitism and racism in all forms, be it from Faith Goldy or anyone else.
     
     
    His comment comes after the NDP asked Ford for three consecutive days in the legislature to denounce Goldy.
     
     
    The NDP says Goldy, a former journalist and current Toronto mayoral candidate, promotes white nationalist views and supports neo-Nazis.
     
    Goldy and her supporters posed for a photograph with the premier over the weekend at an annual gathering known as Ford Fest.
     
     
    Ford has denounced hate speech in the legislature this week but had not mentioned Goldy by name until his comment on Twitter.
