Show detail Hide detail

Television campaign advertisement featuring Progressive Conservative Prime Minister John Diefenbaker. He argues that the Conservative party has become the party of the average man and woman of Canada. In his travels across Canada, he explains, he has encountered Canadians who have previously supported other parties but who now plan to vote Progressive Conservative. The party includes in its membership every province, different racial and religious backgrounds and various age groups - particularly the young. He claims that many have joined the PC crusade for a new concept of Canada - a new Canadianism.~The party's vision of Canada involves: vast resources developed quickly thereby raising the standard of living of all Canadians; the processing of all raw materials in Canada rather than abroad, providing Canadian jobs; the extension of social security benefits as a result of economic growth, benefits he explains as, "a well-merited award to you and other Canadians for your labours and also to those who because of their special needs and circumstances beyond their control, need the assistance of the state". He concludes by asking for support to give his party an overall majority in the House of Commons in order to operate efficiently. <3mn 53s>
