Goldy financed by the elite of Toronto

Faith Goldy complains her failed campaign to become the Mayor of Toronto was sabotaged by “establishment elites,” but in fact her campaign was bankrolled by donors living in some of Toronto’s wealthiest neighbourhoods.

Goldy, who was fired from Rebel Media after going on a neo-Nazi podcast in 2017, has appeared in videos reciting a white supremacist creed and endorsing a book by a 1930s fascist author advocating “the elimination of Jews.”

Although her campaign received direct support from white supremacist groups, Goldy’s recently published financial statements suggest white collar donors were bigger enablers of her far-right mayoral campaign.

Of the $79,500 Goldy’s campaign raked in during last fall’s mayoral election, a new analysis by PressProgress shows almost half that money ($37,750) came from fewer than 20 donors who made donations ranging between $1,000 and $2,5000 to her campaign.

And despite complaining about “elites,” a list of addresses published in the public filings locates Goldy’s top donors in some of Toronto’s wealthiest neighbourhoods, including Bedford Park, Yorkville and the financial district.
