Gender and LGBT Affinity: The Case of Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne
2023
When a party selects an out lesbian as its leader, do women and LGBT people evaluate that leader more positively? And do they become more likely to vote for that party? We answer these questions using the case of Kathleen Wynne, premier of Ontario, Canada, from 2013 to 2018. We draw on four large-sample surveys conducted by Ipsos before and after the 2011 and 2014 Ontario elections. We compare shifts in best premier choice and vote choice among non-LGBT men, non-LGBT women, LGBT men, and LGBT women from 2011 to 2014. We find gender and LGBT affinity in leader evaluations. However, we find that only non-LGBT women and LGBT men were more likely to vote Liberal after Wynne became leader. This article contributes to research on affinity by examining LGBT affinity in a real-world election and the intersection of gender and LGBT affinity.

Doug Ford has been premier of Ontario for less than two weeks, but his Progressive Conservative party has already made changes that have raised alarm in health care and scientific circles. On June 30, the day after the party took power, the province's new minister of health and long-term care, Christine Elliott, announced that Ontario children and youth will no longer be eligible for free prescription drugs if they already have private coverage. Under OHIP+, the youth pharmacare program created by the previous Liberal government, every resident aged 24 and under received free coverage on more than 4400 medications. According to Elliott, the move is a \"cost-effective\" measure, and the program will now focus on those \"who do not have existing prescription drug benefits\" while \"saving the taxpayers money.\"

Blame Wynne, but club should have seen this coming
2018
Despite the fact the political pressure to change her venue started in earnest with the Progressive Conservatives releasing a statement calling on her to cancel the event because of the policy, let's blame Wynne. Examine policy, not manufactured hysterics. Because any politician of any party will use any tool they feel might be successful in getting your vote.
