Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: At 78, Dief still wows the crowds. Attacking Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau last night at a rally for Ron Collister, the Conservative Candidate in York-Scarborough, former prime minister John Diefenbaker had the crowd cheering. He said Trudeau threatens Canada's destiny because he has contempt for Parliament and because he abuses the constitution.
