Diefenbaker's populist appeal ended up destroying Social Credit and crushing the CCF.   What if the Tories had picked a more traditional eastern Tory like Sidney Smith?  

ETA: Or perhaps more aptly the title should be Canada 1957/1958 given Dief first won in 1957 before getting a massive majority a year later.
