Backed by a "Diefenbaker, resign" editorial in the pro-Conservative Toronto Globe and Mail, Trade Minister George Hees led a second palace revolt.

In fact, the family has become an enclave of private and very special spiritual excellence -specifically the nonphony Glass family, of which Seymour the elder, who has undergone martyrdom-by-suicide. was guru.
