‘Diefenbaby’ says he has genetic proof he is related to former prime minister

A Toronto man says he finally has DNA results that show he is related to John Diefenbaker.

And George Dryden believes it’s proof enough that he’s the son of the former prime minister.

Dryden says a genealogist tracked down two dozen distant relatives of Diefenbaker earlier this summer, but they all refused to provide DNA samples.

So he hired a private investigator who retrieved a Q-Tip with ear wax that one of relatives had thrown away.

Dryden says he had the Q-Tip tested and compared with his own DNA and the results show a genetic link.

Dryden, who bears a strong resemblance to Diefenbaker, claims his mother had an affair with the Conservative leader in the 1960s.
