Faith Goldy, far-right 2018 Toronto mayoral candidate, faces campaign finance charges

Faith Goldy, whose controversial past includes promoting white supremacy, is scheduled to appear in court April 12.

Faith Goldy, the far-right figure who finished a distant third in Toronto’s 2018 mayoral election, faces seven charges over her campaign finances that could result in fines of up to $25,000 each.

Goldy, whose controversial past includes promoting white supremacy, is scheduled to appear in court April 12 on the charges laid by the city under the provincial Municipal Elections Act, a city spokesperson confirmed. Charges against Goldy include, failing to report all campaign expenses; failing to report all campaign contributions; accepting donations from people not entitled to make them; donating, with her husband, more than allowed to her own campaign; accepting donations outside the campaign period; and failing to ensure all donations went into her election campaign bank account.

If convicted, she could face fines of up to $25,000 per offence. The act provides for possible jail terms for those found to have knowingly broke the act, or who engaged in intentional “corruption,” but legal observer say that’s extremely rare.Asked for comment Wednesday, Goldy’s lawyer Julian Heller said, “We are continuing to defend Ms Goldy on these charges.”
