Culture At A Crossroads

Episode 4

Kathleen Wynne was Premier of Ontario from 2013-2018. The Don Valley West MPP was at one time a popular provincial leader, but prior to the most recent election her ratings hit an all-time low, and it led to what she predicted days before the election to be a loss to the Conservatives.

 

Wynne was the first openly gay Premier in Canada, and the first female Premier in Ontario. She will talk all about what it was like to blaze a trail for women and the LGBTQ community.

 

And, she will share all about her upbringing in the United Church, how this shaped her as a person, politician, and what she believes about Jesus. Plus, the whole reason she got into politics was public education, don't miss her take on the schools strikes and Doug Ford.
