John Kenneth Gormley

John Kenneth Gormley, Q.C. (born August 2, 1957) is a Canadian radio talk show host, lawyer and best selling author.

He was born in Singapore, where his father was serving as a Captain with the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) during the Malayan Emergency and his mother was a Lieutenant in the Royal Australian Army Nursing Corps (RAANC). His parents emigrated to Saskatchewan in 1960, settling in Battleford, northwest of Saskatoon.

After receiving elementary education in Battleford, he completed high school at St. Thomas College and was introduced to broadcasting as a teenager, spending a year working at radio station CJNB North Battleford. He later enrolled at the University of Saskatchewan and studied English. Intending to apply to law school, (in his words) he "detoured into radio" in 1977, working at CKOM Saskatoon as a reporter and newsreader. He began hosting a talk show and later moved his show to CFQC Saskatoon. His top rated talk show was later hosted by Roy Norris.

Gormley was elected in the 1984 Canadian election to the House of Commons as Progressive Conservative MP for the electoral district of The Battlefords—Meadow Lake. In his last year as a Member of Parliament, he served as chairman of the Commons Standing Committee on Communications and Culture.
