...strike continues for as long as a month, its impact is expected to grow severe, especially north of the border. The seaway is the vital artery for Canadian grain exports, for shipment of Nova Scotia coal to Ontario electric plants, for the flow of iron ore to U.S. mills from Labrador and Quebec. Employers and union officials predict that a prolonged tie-up would idle at least 5,000 seamen, plus another 10,000 dockworkers at Great Lakes ports...
...campaign against Conservative Robert Stanfield, the sensible but restrained former premier of Nova Scotia, may have irrevocably changed the pace and style of Canadian politics. In a DC-9 jet and a helicopter, Trudeau bounced around the country as if it were the size of Rhode Island. Wherever he went, he brought glamour, style, movement.

Stanfield is cautious and reserved, but a proven vote getter and administrator who served an unprecedented four terms as Nova Scotia's Premier. In the few months since he assumed the Tory leadership, he has restructured and strengthened the party organization in Ottawa and the country's 264 election districts. Still, most Canadians feel...
Trudeau could technically delay elections until the parliamentary term expires in 1970, but he is eager to challenge the opposition Tories, who also have a new leader in Nova Scotia's dour Robert Stanfield, 53. Thus, Trudeau is expected to dissolve Parliament by September and go to the country in an effort to win his own majority and a full five-year term for himself...
