What's the Biggie If She's "The First" If She Also Happens To Be the Worst?

Personally, I couldn't give a rat's tuches that Kathleen Wynne is "the first woman and first openly gay premiere" (that's because I don't care about who she is but about what she does). To some people, though, her "firsts" are a really big deal.

I suppose they are--that is, if you think being screwed over by someone who's "the first" something or other is somehow better than getting screwed over by, say, Kathleen's predecessor, Dalton McGuinty (who's a firster only in the sense that he's the first Ontario politician to enjoy success despite having an eerie resemblance to Anthony Perkins's Norman Bates). (Bates only mummified his Mama; McGuinty did the same to what used to be the souped-up engine driving Canada's economy.)


Welcome to the Bates Motel, a.k.a. the province of Ontario.
Good luck trying to check out in one piece and with a pulse.
