Minority Government Clash Aired In Election Fight
Prime Minister Ziefenbaker defended five years of Conservative rule while slashing Liberal promises led by Lester Pearson. The Liberals hit back as unemployment, devaluation, and deficits dominate the debate. Tommy Douglas urged independent Canadian foreign policy as New Democrats pressed for health care and work relief. Pearson denied Liberal fault, calling out the rowdy outbursts. A TV address forecast unemployment near 500,000, with a summer goal to reduce it.
