BREAKING: @FaithGoldy took her lawsuit against Bell to the wrong court, lost, and claims she wasted $50,000 in the process

BREAKING: Faith Goldy cannot force Bell Media to run her ads for Toronto mayor, Ontario Superior Court rules. She brought her lawsuit in the wrong court, a judge found. She is also polling too low for it to "have any realistic impact on the outcome of the election," judge says.

I guess she will have to grift for some more bitcoins...

lol! Imagine that, Free Enterprise not being shackled by Leftie, Commie, Black-angry jurist types.

What's a poor (Nazi by any other name) to do?

Remember the debate in 2014, where Doug Ford fans got so unruly that most people left before it was over? What happened tonight was worse. I can only imagine how 2022 will be if/when a certain person decides to run for mayor again.

Though what may be a blessing in disguise is that Faith Goldy was not the only uninvited-candidate disruptive force--indeed, the presence of Kevin Clarke and D!ONNE Renee kind of brought Goldy down to their level: not so much scare as just plain fringe pest. (And today's court ruling reinforces such a message.)

I wouldn't be surprised if Faith Goldy severely underperformed relative to expectations of both followers and foes. And of course, she'll scream bloody sabotage, that everything was rigged against her, etc...

The Sun endorsed Tory, which isn't surprising. I bet they wanted to endorse Faith Goldy though and the suits said no.

More to the "the suits said no" point, Faith Goldy isn't even *acknowledged*. (Except, of course, in the comment thread)

I thought they got rid of the comments section a few years ago.

Reinstated. (And all the Goldy astroturf makes it look comical.)

I never thought the Sun would be called left wing.

Goes to all of the "what's so horrible about John Tory anyway" people.

   Indeed they did. A key member of Tory’s team called her a “A Canadian Patriot”.

   Well that was eventful. But Tory’s campaign certainly saw Goldy coming.

Any Canadian who uses “patriot” in a sentence should be smacked upside the head with a canoe paddle.

But then Nick’s a cadet instructor who thinks he’s a combat veteran.

A timid endorsement of Tory by the National Post

The Star editorial board endorsed Tory.

Yeah, just saw that. Maybe if she runs again in 2022 she could win
