About 20 demonstrators waving anti-Trump signs gathered outside the Trump Tower in downtown Vancouver on Wednesday. They were organized by the group Avaaz in an effort to encourage Americans living abroad to vote in the upcoming U.S. election.
“We think that a candidate like Donald Trump is quite dangerous. We think it would be a terrible choice for the U.S., but [also] for Canada and the World,” said Avaaz organizer Joseph Huff-Hannon, who lives in Washington, D.C.
“We think that most Americans in Canada, if they vote, are probably not going to vote for Donald Trump,” he said.
The activists who showed up appeared to be mostly Canadian, and it’s unclear how many Americans in the neighbourhood were motivated to register at the group’s faux voter booth where an iPad was set up to help them sign up.
“I feel more concerned about this than any election in the U.S. before,” said Heather Hay, an activist holding an Avaaz sign and wearing her bicycle helmet. “Every time you speak up, it makes a difference.”
“I think that his racist policies and stance are extremely dangerous in the world,” she said. “Those things are heavily contributing to war, to xenophobia and his lack of understanding about how important thinking about climate change is, because that’s a major threat to the world no matter where you live.”
Another Canadian, Hardy Scott, held a sign reading “Canada & U.S., United to Stop Trump.”
“What may be more disturbing than Trump is that near 50 per cent of the U.S. voters think that he’s hot shit,” he said, adding that he’s highly critical of U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump’s business management history.
