Kathleen Wynne

Yesterday Ontario's Liberal Party elected its new leader Kathleen Wynne, who thereby becomes the provincial premier. Thousands of members of Ontario public services employees unions were outside the convention hall, along with a few people from the Ontario Coalition for Accountability, who tried to duplicate last winter's success in bringing awareness of CAS problems to the provincial Liberals [1] [2] and Progressive Conservatives. [3].

New premier Kathleen Wynne is an avowed lesbian, sharing her life with partner Jane Rounthwaite. To give you an idea of what to expect from this couple, the résumé of wife Jane from Linkedin is in the expand block. Jane was associated with Kinark Child and Family Services, and for six years has served the Kinark foundation as a volunteer.
