The Battle of Diefenbaker, often referred to in the context of Canadian politics, primarily revolves around Prime Minister John Diefenbaker's controversial decision to cancel the Avro Arrow project in 1959. This decision significantly impacted Canada's aerospace industry and ignited a fierce political debate, leading to Diefenbaker's eventual decline in popularity and loss of power in 1963. The cancellation also shifted Canada's defense policy, moving towards reliance on American military technology and alliances. Ultimately, this event marked a pivotal moment in Canadian history, influencing national identity and technological aspirations.
