"The Globe and Mail" April 10, 1963

Multiple articles from "The Globe and Mail" newspaper from April 10, 1963. The first article provides details on the Canadian Federal Election of 1963, particularly how Prime Minister John Diefenbaker dragged out the electoral process in his not resigning office despite the Liberal Party winning the most seats and a minority government. The article then goes on to praise his opponent, Prime Minister Lester Pearson, and his "simple, straightforward and tough-minded" campaign, where, "He talked of the need for stable government and sound economic measures, but he refused to make any promises until he had had a chance to take a good, hard look at the situation from the inside." Another article then goes on to detail President John F. Kennedy's struggle to enact his "Grand Design" with the Atlantic Nations, primarily due to the obstinacy of President Charles de Gaulle of France. The page also contains a cartoon of a man waiting at a desk to get his "Back Seat Drivers License."
