Episode The Other Mrs. Diefenbaker: Edna Diefenbaker
Without Edna Diefenbaker, John Diefenbaker would have never been prime minister. Yet, he sweeps his first wife to the dustbin of history, and barely acknowledged her in his three volume memoirs. He overlooked her in life, and did the same after she died.
