Premier Doug Ford told the legislature he condemns hate speech, be it from Toronto mayoral candidate and white nationalist Faith Goldy or anyone else. Bernie Farber, of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, said Doug Ford should have said he rejects Faith Goldy, white supremacy and anti-Semitism. “I condemn hate speech, anti-Semitism and racism of all forms, be it from Faith Goldy, be it from anyone,” he said, before criticizing the NDP for not dealing with controversies involving its own candidates during the election. When asked if Ford has requested Goldy cease using his name in the robocalls, a spokesperson said that “Premier Ford has been clear: he condemns hate speech, anti-Semitism and racism in all forms, be it from Faith Goldy or anyone else. Farber said Ford should have said he rejects Faith Goldy, white supremacy and anti-Semitism.
