 MSN Encarta - Search View - John Diefenbaker
The Conservatives as a whole opposed the Family Allowances Act of 1944, which gave a small monthly sum to all families with children, to help cover the costs of child-rearing, but Diefenbaker was for the allowances and persuaded his colleagues that it would be politically disastrous to vote against the act.
The Progressive Conservative Party's difficulties were also great, but they were offset by the country's desire for change, which gave Diefenbaker his main chance in the 1957 general election.
The extent of the Conservatives' decline was seen in the spring election of 1962, which Diefenbaker campaigned on the misdeeds of the Liberals instead of on his own record.
