The selection this weekend of either Sandra Pupatello or Kathleen Wynne to lead Ontario would put women in charge of provincial governments overseeing about 90 percent of Canada’s economy and population.

Pupatello and Wynne are front-runners in the race to replace Dalton McGuinty as head of the Liberal Party and premier of Canada’s most-populous province. A victory for either at the convention in Toronto tomorrow would mean that women would lead half of Canada’s 10 provincial governments, including the four biggest.
