The newly elected premier of Ontario Kathleen Wynne spoke this week at one of the World Pride Toronto 2014 events. She made it clear to her audience that Ontario is to be a "beacon" for "inclusivity" for the whole world. In her words, “I want to say to you that as the premier of Ontario, I will work every day to make Ontario the safest, the most inclusive place in the world so that we can be that beacon for the world. You are all part of that.” You can see and hear the whole speech in the video below.
It's interesting that when she was campaigning for her job she talked mostly about the economy, jobs, pensions for Ontarians and strongly attacked Tim Hudak the leader of the Conservative Party for wanting to cut jobs from the public sector. She didn't tell the voters that Ontario already has policies and laws in place to protect the LGBT community, and that she intended if elected to continue to press on with her promotion of homosexuality. Of course she never says it this direct way. Wynne prefers to talk about children in playgrounds and schools that must "feel safe." She tells those in attendance at the event to “do everything we can” for children's safety. (more...)
