The Ontario NDP is accusing Premier Doug Ford's government of covering up its "cozy relationship with bigot Charles McVety."

McVety, an evangelical pastor with conservative political leanings who is also the president of Canada Christian College, has had ties to the Ford family for years. Recently, photos of his November 2019 birthday party — attended by two ministers, an MPP, Ford's former campaign manager and Ford's wife and daughters — were deleted from Facebook, the NDP said.

"They show that it's not just Ford himself who pals around with the homophobic, transphobic and racist McVety and family, so does Minister Rod Phillips, Minister Michael Tibollo, MPP Lorne Coe, and the architect of Ford's electoral win, 2018 campaign director Michael Diamond," the NDP said in a press release.
