“Diefenbaker was a champion for those whose voices often go unheard”, states Plamondon.
Foreword by the Right Honourable Jean Chrétien:
“I was a political opponent of John Diefenbaker but never an enemy. Though we had our differences, we shared much in common, particularly our optimism about Canada. John Diefenbaker was undeniably a proud and passionate Canadian. He devoted his life to public service and inspired others to do the same. I hope his memory will continue to encourage others to serve their country, which is why I am happy his story is being told.”
