Campaign Apathy Dims Canadian Election Tour
The Liberals bank on a Quebec sweep as leaders travel for the June 18 vote. Prime Minister John Dieferbaker and Liberal Lester Pearson draw polite crowds while T. C. Douglas and Robert Thompson show limited magnetism. Air travel keeps meetings small, contributing to a historically dull campaign with widespread public apathy.

Campaign dynamics amid Quebec shift in Canadian election
The piece notes voters may stay quiet until issues are weighed as turnout falls from 75 percent in 1958. Diefenbaker campaigns in Quebec facing flag heckling, Saint John rallies, and attacks Pearson’s 12 mile fishing limit. Lesage’s reforms raise taxes but strengthen Liberal hold. Social Credit disrupts right-wing voting, NDP gains limited.
