Kent Glowinski, BA, LLB is a Toronto lawyer, politician and author.

[edit] Political history

In 1997, Glowinski ran as a federal political candidate for the now-defunct Progressive Conservative Party of Canada in the riding of Skeena. At 18 years-of-age, Glowinski was the youngest federal candidate in Canada in that election.

From 2000 to 2001, Glowinski ran for the British Columbia Liberal Party nomination to become the provincial Liberal candidate in the riding of North Coast. Former Member of the Legislative Assembly Bill Belsey went on to win the nomination, and subsequently a seat in the 2001 provincial election.

In 2002, Glowinski founded a political gossip website known as www.torydraft.com to promote the 2003 Progressive Conservative leadership convention. From 2003 to 2004, he then operated www.bluedraft.com, a website which promoted the merger of the Canadian Alliance and Progressive Conservative Party of Canada. While operating the website, Glowinski intervened in a lawsuit brought forward by former, failed Progressive Conservative leadership candidate David Orchard.
