Dear Editor:
In his Conservative love-in column (Conservatives on Track to Take Top Spot, Oct. 9) you would think that Trevor Lautens would know that John Diefenbaker's stunning upset occurred in 1957 (June 10), not 1956.
Bob Scott, North Vancouver
Editor's note: John George Diefenbaker was prime minister of Canada from June 21, 1957, to April 22, 1963. "Dief, the Chief" won a minority government in 1957. He won a majority government in the 1958 general election, with the Tories picking up 208 seats to the Liberals' 48. He fell to Lester B. Pearson in 1963.
