- Andrea Parliament wants to promote the idea that positive change in the world starts with faith – faith in humanism or faith in God – it doesn't really matter. What is important is having faith in the humanity of your enemies; acting bravely, rationally and compassionately, especially in the face of anger, frustration and violence.
- Andrea Parliament was working as tax policy advisor attending a meeting on Ontario’s private school tax credit when she learned that a plane had flown into the World Trade Centre. Convinced the timing was not a coincidence but a sign of profound cultural changes, Andrea started to research the history of secularization and the different secular constitutions as a way of managing her growing cynicism.
- Andrea is a Canadian lawyer and policy writer and earned her LLB/MBA from Dalhousie University in 1999 and her BA with Honors in Psychology from the University of Alberta in 1990. She has a passion for interdisciplinary studies, public policy and political philosophy. Andrea has extensive legal and policy experience on a range of topics; including women's issues, income tax policy, and financial sector regulation. She has worked at the Canadian Banker's Association, a large Bay-street law firm, the Ontario Ministry of Finance and Alberta's Ministry of Community Development.
- Andrea was called to the Ontario bar in 2001, is a member of the Law Society of Upper Canada, the American Academy of Religion, and the American Political Science Association. Andrea currently lives, and practices law, in Burlington, Ontario, Canada.
