Ford Fest Photos Under Fire

Ford Fest turned into a political firestorm when hundreds of striking public service workers in purple shirts vanished from official photos — sparking accusations of digital manipulation by the government. While Premier Doug Ford’s team claims the images were just color-corrected to fix an “orange hue,” union leaders say the purple shirts and even rainbow flags were deliberately erased to paint a false picture of overwhelming support. With poll numbers already shaky and recent controversies like the government jet purchase weighing on his image, critics argue the move is a desperate attempt to control the narrative — and the optics are now sparking a wider debate about truth in political imagery.
