Was Françoise Boivin outed?

I have an analysis piece on the main page of Xtra.ca, which looks at an incident on the campaign from a week ago. It was a difficult piece to write for many reasons - Boivin's campaign didn't want to talk, it was difficult to get any of the allegations out there, and to parse the messages being delivered. It was also interesting being the only journalist writing about the story from this angle - every other outlet simply said that the allegations were that she hired her partner - usually no gender specified - and Boivin denied it, end of story. What it all will mean in the end we have yet to see, but it was one of those experiences of being on the periphery of a story and finding an angle that other outlets have passed by.
