“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.”
This is an opportunity not only to hear directly from Plamondon about Diefenbaker’s enduring legacy, but also to connect with others who care deeply about freedom, democracy, and Canada’s future.
