Ontario gets first female and openly gay premier
TORONTO — Canada's most populous province is getting its first female premier and the country's first openly gay premier after the provincial Liberals chose a new leader.
Former education minister Kathleen Wynne won the party's leadership race Saturday.
Wynne is making history as Canada's first openly gay premier, a subject she confronted head-on in a speech Saturday morning. Wynne says Ontario is ready for a gay woman as premier and says she does not believe Ontarians hold prejudice in their hearts.
