Ontario Premier Doug Ford distanced himself Wednesday from a Toronto woman known for her extreme views following repeated Opposition questions about a photograph he took with her. Ford had been asked for three consecutive days at the legislature to denounce Faith Goldy, a former journalist and now controversial Toronto mayoral candidate, but had only said he was against hate speech. I condemn hate speech, anti-Semitism and racism in all forms- be it from Faith Goldy or anyone else. "I condemn hate speech, anti-Semitism and racism in all forms — be it from Faith Goldy or anyone else." "I totally denounce — I repeat denounce, denounce, denounce — anyone who wants to talk hate speech," he had said in the legislature Tuesday.
