Golsa "Goldie" Ghamari (Persian: گلسا قمری‎) is a Canadian politician who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario during the 2018 general election. She represents the riding of Carleton, and is a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario.[1][2][3][4]

In February 2018, she made allegations against Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington. She claimed that Hiller intimidated her and tried to encourage her not to seek public office. She says the encounter took place during the 2016 Ontario PC Party convention in Ottawa. As a result of the allegations, there was an internal party investigation which occurred but the PC party found no evidence of wrong doing on the part of Hillier.[5]
