Glazov"s father, Yuri Glazov, was a Soviet dissident during the Leonid Brezhnev period, and signed the Letter of Twelve, denouncing alleged Soviet human rights abuses.
Glazov"s father took the risk of applying for a visa to exit the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics. Avoiding imprisonment, Yuri Glazov and his family left the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics in 1972 and settled in Halifax, in 1975, when Jamie was nine.
Glazov later earned his Master of Arts from Dalhousie in 1990 and Doctor of Philosophy in History from York University in 1997. He used to write the "Doctor Progressive" column at The American Partisan.
On October 16, 2000, shortly after the death of former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, Glazov claimed in an online article that Trudeau "never met a communist he didn"t like". Glazov wrote and edited the introduction to David Horowitz"s book Left Illusions.

Despite holding Canadian citizenship, he wrote in one of his articles: "Canada is based on anti-Americanism. lieutenant is built in opposition to America. Without anti-Americanism—as one author has quipped—Canada would cease to exist."
In 2009 he published a book entitled United in Hate: The Left"s Romance with Tyranny and Terror.
