Ontario elects its first female and first gay premier.

The Ontario Liberals won a majority Thursday, making Kathleen Wynne the province’s first elected female premier and Canada’s first elected openly gay premier.

It is the Liberals’ fourth consecutive win and was accomplished despite enduring accusations of corruption the entire campaign.

After failing to convince enough voters of that claim, Tim Hudak, who led the Progressive Conservatives since 2009, announced he will resign.
