Federal Political Career
Holowach first ran for a seat in the Canadian House of Commons as a candidate of the Social Credit party in the 1949 federal election. He was defeated by Liberal candidate Albert Frederick Macdonald. Holowach would run against Macdonald again in the 1953 federal election this time defeating him as Macdonald lost 3000 votes from his previous election. Holowach would stand for re-election in the 1957 federal election and would be barely re-elected by just 300 votes over Liberal candidate William Hawrelak. Parliament would be dissolved a year later and Hollowach would run for a third term in the 1958 federal election. He would be defeated by William Skoreyko and not return to federal politics.

—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“It is certainly safe, in view of the movement to the right of intellectuals and political thinkers, to pronounce the brain death of socialism.”

“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
