Prime Minister John Diefenbaker goes fishing at Harrington Lake near Gatineau, Quebec on April 21, 1962, as Happy inspects the tackle box.
The lake became the summer residence of the prime minister in 1959.

@canadaehx Alas, ousting was the right decision. He was a man of many virtues, but not with the managerial skills needed to be a successful PM.

A crowd gathers at Thunder Bay on Aug. 20, 1979 to see the body of former PM John Diefenbaker, who died on Aug. 16.
His body was being transported to Saskatoon.
It was said it was the largest crowd seen at the station since local residents saw troops go off to war in the Second World War.
