Now this crutch is gone, and it is likely that western support will decline. Greatest dissatisfaction with Diefenbaker's regime has come from the discontented electorate in central Canada, urban voters who solidly backed the Liberals in the election last June. Diefenbaker's obvious last-ditch attempt to win the urban vote by promising urban development and redevelopment assistance will likely go unanswered. Social Credit leader Robert N.

The polarized attitudes that defeated renewal last spring still persist. Neither side will admit any wrong. Consequently nothing can really be worked...
...future projects, the CRA (or any equivalent group must be sensitive enough to realize that the so called human problems of renewal are important. In other words, good public relations is crucial in order to make urban renewal work. The CRA was beaten last spring because it had no support from Donnelly, Cambridge neighborhood organizations, churches or the influential League of Women Voters...
