Goldie Ghamari
Ontario PC MPP for Carleton. Expelled from the PC caucus by Ford in June 2024 after it emerged she had virtually met with Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon), founder of the English Defence League — a group widely described as Islamophobic and far-right. She claimed she was unaware of Robinson's background when she agreed to the meeting.
Connected Scandals
A documented pattern of Ontario PC associations with far-right figures: Ford personally appointed a Rebel Media host who defended Holocaust denial as a candidate (2018), posed for a photo with known white nationalist Faith Goldy and refused to denounce her by name for two days (2018), maintained a former MPP with documented Diagolon neo-fascist ties in his caucus until 2019 (Randy Hillier), and in June 2024 ejected MPP Goldie Ghamari after she publicized a meeting with Tommy Robinson — founder of the English Defence League — after months of documented Islamophobia within caucus.
An active PC caucus member who met virtually with Tommy Robinson, founder of the English Defence League. Ford removed her from caucus on June 28, 2024, citing "repeated serious lapses in judgment." The National Council of Canadian Muslims documented a longer pattern of conduct by Ghamari they described as Islamophobic.
