Born in Ontario and raised in Saskatchewan, he was an accomplished defence lawyer and Member of Parliament for some forty years. Diefenbaker rejuvenated the Progressive Conservative Party and led it to a landslide victory in 1958. His government extended national social programs, promoted Northern development, and championed human rights in Canada and abroad. Although defeated as prime minister in 1963 and later as party leader, he remained a force in Canadian politics until his death.</p></span> </div> <div class="clearleft nomp"> <h4> </h4> <p> </p> </div> <div class="clearleft nomp"> <h4> </h4> <p> </p> </div> <div class="clearleft nomp"> <h4> </h4> <p> </p> </div> <div class="clearleft nomp"> <h4> </h4> <p> </p> </div> <div class="clearleft nomp"> <h4> <span id="Main_PageDisplay1_lblFHBROHeritageStatementTitle" class="label"></span></h4> <p> <span id="Main_PageDisplay1_lblDisclaimerTitle" class="inlabel"></span> <span id="Main_PageDisplay1_lblDisclaimerStatement" class="labeltext"></span> </p> <p> <span id="Main_PageDisplay1_lblFHBROHeritageStatement"></span> </p> </div> <hr class="mt20" /> </div> </div> </div> <div class="aspNetHidden"> </div></form> </main>  <nav role="navigation" id="wb-sec" typeof="SiteNavigationElement" class="col-md-3 col-md-pull-9 visible-md visible-lg">  <h2>links</h2>   <ul class="list-group menu list-unstyled"> <li><h3><span id="ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl00_lblLeftMenuHeader">Directory of Federal Heritage Designations</span></h3> <ul class="list-group menu list-unstyled"> <li><a class="list-group-item" href="search-recherche_eng.aspx" title="Search the Directory"> Search the Directory</a></li> <li><a class="list-group-item" href="../../en/culture/dfhd.aspx" title="About the Directory"> About the Directory</a></li> <li><a class="list-group-item" href="recent-recent_eng.aspx" title="Recent Designations"> Recent Designations</a></li> <li><a class="list-group-item" href="/en/culture/clmhc-hsmbc/revue-review.aspx" title="Reviews of existing designations"> Reviews of existing designations</a></li> <li><a class="list-group-item" href="../../en/culture/clmhc-hsmbc.aspx" title="Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada"> Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada</a></li> <li><a class="list-group-item" href="/en/culture/beefp-fhbro.aspx" title="Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office"> Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office</a></li> <li><a class="list-group-item" href="/en/culture/clmhc-hsmbc/pat-her.aspx" title="Historic Railway Stations Protection Act"> Historic Railway Stations Protection Act</a></li> <li><a class="list-group-item" href="/en/lhn-nhs/pp-hl/.aspx" title="Heritage Lighthouses Program"> Heritage Lighthouses Program</a></li> <li><a class="list-group-item" href="../../en/culture/dfhd/glossaire-glossary.aspx" title="Glossary"> Glossary</a></li> <li><a class="list-group-item" href="../../en/culture/dfhd/contact.aspx" title="Contact the Registrar"> Contact the Registrar</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul>  </nav>  </div> </div> <footer role="contentinfo" id="wb-info" class="visible-sm visible-md visible-lg wb-navcurr"> <div class="container"> <nav role="navigation"> <h2>About this site</h2> <ul id="gc-tctr" class="list-inline"> <li><a rel="license" href="http://www.pc.gc.ca/en/agence-agency/termes-terms">Terms and conditions</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.pc.gc.ca/en/agence-agency/dp-pd/">Transparency</a></li> </ul> </nav> </div> <div id="gc-info"> <div class="container"> <nav role="navigation"> <h2>Government of Canada footer</h2> <ul class="list-inline"> <li><a href="http://healthycanadians.gc.ca"><span>Health</span></a></li> <li><a href="http://travel.gc.ca"><span>Travel</span></a></li> <li><a href="http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/home.shtml"><span>Service Canada</span></a></li> <li><a href="http://www.jobbank.gc.ca"><span>Jobs</span></a></li> <li><a href="http://actionplan.gc.ca/en"><span>Economy</span></a></li> <li id="canada-ca"><a href="http://www.canada.ca/en/index.html" rel="external">Canada.ca</a></li> </ul> </nav> </div> </div> </footer>  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.js"></script> <script src="../../../wet/v4.0.23/wet-boew/js/wet-boew.min.js"></script>   <script src="../../../wet/v4.0.23/js/theme.min.js"></script> </body> </html>
