Original Toronto Star caption: The nation's business. The Rt. Hon. John G. Diefenbaker last night solemnly told the Canadian people that everything the Liberals do is very, very bad and everything the Conservatives do (or would do) is very, very good. In recounting Liberal sins, he even had a little joke: In the next election campaign, the Liberal slogan would be, throw the rascals in! Mr. Diefenbaker's performance on TV might have been an amusing satire on a Canadian politician if it hadn't been for real.
