Meet the Canadians Trying to Get Hillary Clinton Elected

Like many Hillary Clinton supporters, Melissa Bruno is an avowed progressive. She’s determined to elect a woman as U.S. president and to stop Donald Trump from getting to the White House. There’s just one thing that distinguishes her from most of her peers: She’s Canadian.

In October, Bruno, 29, spent three weeks of saved vacation days registering voters in Denver. “Donald Trump puts a different sense of urgency on the matter,” says Bruno, who works for a provincial New Democratic Party lawmaker in Ontario. Bruno says the Republican nominee reminds her of former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who refused to resign after video surfaced of him smoking crack cocaine: “Whenever I talk about that, it clicks with people.”
