Jill Andrew is a Canadian politician and former Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) for Toronto-St. Paul’s, representing the New Democratic Party (NDP). Known for her advocacy on social justice and equity issues, Andrew gained national attention for her progressive stance on various legislative matters. She was removed from the Ontario legislature in 2023 after a controversial protest against a political attire ban, which sparked discussions about free speech and representation. Andrew, who has held her seat since 2018, faced challenges in the recent election, ultimately losing her position to Liberal candidate Stephanie Smyth.
