John G. Diefenbaker was a Canadian politician. He "fought valiantly to take over the Bank of Canada".[1]
Northern Vision policy
Matthew Ehret writes that the "broad scope of his Northern Vision policy would not be permitted to unfold for reasons that none but key officials in London working through Canada's Privy Council Office and Civil Service would truly know anything about."[1]
A Quote by John Diefenbaker

|---|---|---|
| Canada/Deep state | “The Civil Service is there to advise on, but not to determine policy. A minister is there to see that government policy is carried out within his department… That said, had I been returned to office in 1965, there would have been some major changes made. It became obvious as soon as we were out of office in 1963 that there were quite a number of senior people in the public service, about whom I had not known, who had simply been underground, quietly working against my government and waiting for the Liberals to return to power.” | Strategic Culture Foundation |
