    Elections to Remember

    We love them and we hate them. They bring out the best in us, and the worst. They frequently divide us, and sometimes — as with John Diefenbaker's thunderous victory in 1958 — federal elections succeed in uniting the country behind a single impulse, or a single voice.

Here are some famous elections from the past, and how they changed Canada . . .
