Liberals Push Redistribution as New Government Looms
The Liberals and NDP back redistribution to realign seats after the 1961 census, delaying changes under Diefenbaker. Ontario would gain three seats while Quebec would drop one. Saskatchewan gains and Manitoba loses a seat, with Alberta and British Columbia increasing. Rural ridings may consolidate to create urban representation, and a Liberal win is expected to accelerate this overdue overhaul.

Conservatives split over Liberal nuclear vote shift
60 Days of Decision notes that many Conservatives led by Doug las Harkness of Calgary appear ready to back the Liberals on a nuclear vote, potentially giving Pearson a majority. The piece questions the PC party’s future, doubts Diefenbaker’s electoral viability, and sees redistribution boosting urban influence while prairie support centers on Diefenbaker’s rural base. Manitoba Premier Duff Roblin is shown as a likely successor, with Social Credit fading in French Canada.
