Diefenbaker: A True Leader

Every country needs many generations to develop from an early country to a country considered a "developed country". Changes occurring in this country are often caused by a few foresighted individuals. Many people can be recognized as contributing to Canada's progress. John G. Deefen Baker, who is the most influential person in Canadian history, played a crucial role in the development of the country. Dieffenbeck's work has led to the redefinition of Canadian cultural identity, the development of key bills and policies in government bills, and the development of diplomatic standpoint.

Dieffenbeck made a general election on March 31, 1958, in order to eliminate minority government restrictions. The Liberal Party now has Leicester Pearson as leader, but with his charm, his vision to new Canada, and the northern development policy, defense has won 208 seats out of 265 seats. Apart from Newfoundland (who became the tenth state in 1949), his support is very good. There was nobody who predicted the degree of victory of Conservative Party, but this did not prevent many critics of the time from predicting Conservative dynasty and returning to a two party system. Today historians and political scientists tend to think that elections in 1958 are abnormal which do not reflect or influence the fundamental characteristics of Canadian politics. However, a more careful review reveals permanent traces. Since the Conservative Party commanded western Canada politics in 1958, the Liberal Party discovered that it is increasingly more difficult to win the western seats.

Leicester B. Pearson was easily elected from the party leader at the party's summit meeting in 1958. However, a few months after being a leader of the Liberal Party, Pearson led the party to a federal election in 1958, and in Canada's history, the progressive Conservative Party of Defenbek acquired the majority of the seat of the government's seat . The Liberal Party has decreased to 48 seats, but the Progressive Conservative Party won 206 seats out of 265 seats in the House of Representatives. During this period, Pearson continued to be the leader of the Liberal Party and succeeded in reducing Defheneck to the minority government in the 1962 election. In the 1963 election, Pearson led the Liberal Party back to victory and formed a minority government. Pearson served as prime minister for five years and victorious in the second election in 1965. Pearson's leadership was considered poor and the Liberal Party did not hold a majority in Congress during the prime minister's inauguration, but he left in 1968, leaving an impressive heritage.
