Laura Mae Monique Lindo (born 1976) is a Canadian politician who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in the 2018 provincial election.^[1] She represented the electoral district of Kitchener Centre as a member of the Ontario New Democratic Party. In January 2023, Lindo announced that she would step down as MPP in July to take a position with the philosophy department of the University of Waterloo. She officially resigned on July 13, 2023.^[2]

Early life and education[edit]

Born in Canada, Lindo's parents immigrated to the country from Jamaica.^[3] Her mother Osra Lindo graduated from York University with a bachelor's degree in gender and women's studies at the age of 79.^[4]^[5] She is the niece of former Ontario MPP and Speaker Alvin Curling.^[5] Raised in Scarborough, Lindo has lived in Kitchener since 2014.^[6]

Lindo graduated from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in philosophy in 1998 followed by a second BA degree in African studies and philosophy from York University.^[7] Her Master of Education degree, completed at York, examined Ontario's high school philosophy program.^[7] Lindo also holds a Doctor of Philosophy degree in education.^[6] She completed her studies at York University in 2011 with a thesis titled "I'm Writing for Freedom!" Mapping Public Discourse on Race in Comedy.^[8]

Career[edit]

Lindo is Kitchener's first Black MPP.^[3] She served as a Member of the Standing Committee on Regulations and Private Bills, and as Critic for Citizenship and Immigration Services and Critic for anti-racism.^[9] In 2018, Lindo was named a member of the Ontario NDP's first ever Black Caucus, alongside NDP caucus colleagues Rima Berns-McGown, Faisal Hassan, Jill Andrew and Kevin Yarde.^[10] Prior to her election, she worked as Director of Diversity and Equity at Wilfrid Laurier University.^[6]^[3] In December 2021, she introduced Bill 67, The Racial Equity in Education Systems Act which "embeds anti-racist language into pieces of legislation from kindergarten to grade 12, and all throughout post secondary", saying "when you define it, then it is real".^[11]^[12]

After the resignation of Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath in June 2022 after the party's defeat in the Ontario general election, Lindo was seen as a potential candidate in the subsequent leadership election, but she decided not to run in November.^[13]

In January 2023, Lindo announced that she would be stepping down that July to join the University of Waterloo's philosophy department.^[13] She cited child care costs as a cause for her resigning her seat.^[14] Lindo endorsed Debbie Chapman as the next NDP candidate in the by-election. However, the seat flipped to the Green Party candidate Aislinn Clancy.
