Hampton lawyer David Lutz campaigns for Hillary Clinton in Florida

Polls indicate the state is split evenly, with the north voting Republican and the south, Democrat.

By Joseph Tunney, CBC News Posted: Nov 07, 2016 6:40 PM AT 


David Lutz, a Hampton-based lawyer, is helping the Hillary Clinton campaign in Florida today. Yesterday he went door-to-door in Melbourne to identified Democrat supporters’ homes, trying to get them out to vote

When David Lutz first came to New Brunswick in 1969, it was to avoid being drafted to fight in the Vietnam War.

Now the prominent Hampton defence lawyer has returned to the United States, where he was born, to volunteer for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign against Donald Trump.

"I'm representing the rest of the world," Lutz said Monday from Florida.

"The rest of the world, especially Canada, is scared to death of Mr. Trump."


​Analysts have said that if Donald Trump has any chance to win the presidency in the election Tuesday, he'll need to win Florida, the biggest of the swing states and barely won by President Barack Obama in 2012.

So far, polls indicate the Sunshine State is split evenly, with the north voting for Republican Trump and the south for Democrat Clinton.

'Worried about the whole world'


Lutz was originally heading south to vacation on a Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise in the Caribbean.

Since he was to land in Florida near election day and has family in Florida, he decided to volunteer.

"I'm not so much worried about my family or the Americans," Lutz said.

"I'm worried about the whole world."

Lutz said he has seen a real mixture of support during his Florida visit.

He said while his candidate has gathered considerable support, in some parts of Florida Lutz sees nothing but Trump signs.

On Monday, Lutz was going door-to-door in Melbourne to identify Democratic supporters' homes, trying to get them out to vote early.

"[This campaign is] so organized," he said.

"We're getting good response."

Lutz supports Clinton because he knows her history and supports the party that nominated her.

Fear driven support


This isn't his first time volunteering for the Democrats.

Lutz worked for Obama's campaign in 2008 and worked for Robert Kennedy the day before he was shot in 1968.

As much as Lutz identifies with the Democrats, he said this election it's more the fear of Trump that drives him and the Clinton supporters he's spoken to.

"That somebody as unqualified and evil as Trump could get this far is scary," he said.

"That's what the people backing Hillary are saying. And that's what I, as a world citizen, that's what I feel."

Justin Trudeau faces anger in N.B. over troubled payroll system

Town hall meeting in Fredericton leads off prime minister's day in New Brunswick

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was asked some tough questions during Tuesday's town hall meeting in Fredericton, particularly in relation to the Phoenix payroll "nightmare."

Roxanne Merrill Young asked Trudeau about the new payroll system, which she called a "nightmare," and which has left some federal employees sporadically paid or not paid at all for stretches of work.


Trudeau said he understands the anger and frustration provoked by the failure of the Phoenix system and called the problems unacceptable.

"It's a situation that cannot continue and one that we take extremely seriously," he said.

Trudeau said employees didn't know how to use the new payroll system when it was brought in.

But people in Miramichi, where the system is administered, are working around the clock to fix it, he said.
"Everyone deserves to get paid what they're owed in a timely matter," he said.
At the town hall meeting, questions from New Brunswickers covered a range of topics, including marijuana policy, protection of the environment, job creation, and what Trudeau's daughter wants to be when she grows up.

"She is an eight-year-old princess or rock 'n' roll star," he said. "I impress on my daughter she can be whatever she wants. I also impress upon her brothers she can be whatever she wants."

Laura Shaw, a student at the University of New Brunswick asked the prime minister how government planned to decrease the number of sexual assaults on university campuses.

"We need to support survivors ... we need to address huge challenges within workplaces ... we need to talk about it more if we want to be a truly equal country," Trudeau said.

He also spoke about volunteers at McGill University's sexual assault centre.
"Violence against women and girls happens too often."

After the town hall meeting, Shaw said she appreciated Trudeau's thoughtfulness in answering the question.

"That really means a lot," she said. "Men are so crucial and the impact they can have on their peers is much more than women can have on men."

A Grade 12 student in Fredericton asked how Canada can ensure respect and inclusion within its own communities after flaring racial tensions in the United States.

"It's easier to get people to close in," he said. "Diversity is a sort of strength ... it creates opportunities."


Matt DeCourcey, the Fredericton MP, spoke at the morning event and thanked everyone for attending. Diane Lebouthillier and Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc, along with mayors and local council members, also attended.

"This is a community town hall, you're here to share your stories … and ask your questions to your prime minister," DeCourcey said.

The Fredericton Chamber of Commerce, which hosted the community meeting, closed pre-registration for the event on Monday "due to huge response" and said pre-registration doesn't guarantee entry.

Trudeau's stops in Nova Scotia on Monday and New Brunswick on Tuesday coincide with the release of a public opinion poll suggesting the prime minister and his government continue to enjoy "historic highs" in popularity in this region.

In a quarterly survey of more than 1,500 people, 73 per cent of respondents were satisfied with the government's performance and 62 per cent support Trudeau.

Selfies in Saint John

Following the morning event in Fredericton, Trudeau travelled by motorcade down the highway to Saint John and visited the Market Square atrium at 1:30 p.m., where he was greeted by a large, enthusiastic crowd.

It resembled a celebrity event, with hundreds of people — mainly millennials — eager to see him and get a selfie to document the nation's leader's approximately 30-minute visit.

Intensive care unit nurse Sarah Padpallock screamed with giddy joy at her selfie.

"I'm a whole-hearted Trudeau fan," she said.

"I think it's really cool that he came to Saint John, New Brunswick, and that he came into the crowd and spoke to us and took selfies. It was cool."

Trudeau didn't take any questions during the Saint John leg of his "listening tour," and faced no resistance as he worked the crowd for about 30 minutes, under the watchful eye of his security detail and Saint John Police Force officers.

"OMG! He is beautiful!" a teenage girl squealed.

Then he proceeded to Hampton for a quick stop at Tim Hortons at 2:20 p.m. People squeezed in and the crowd spilled over, lined up outside the door. Some were standing on chairs to try to catch a glimpse of the prime minister.

Trudeau is scheduled to fly to Sherbrooke, Que., next for a 7 p.m. ET town hall session at Colonel Gaétan Côté Armoury.

"We as a government are listening very carefully about the concerns people have," Trudeau said as the Fredericton meeting began. "This is very much about hearing your concerns, your questions ... things that are important to Canadians."

Since the tour began last week in Ontario, the prime minister has faced challenging questions on issues such as the welfare of indigenous Canadians, military exports, subsidies for the fossil-fuel industry, real-estate regulation and support for the manufacturing sector.

He is skipping the World Economic Forum, which started Tuesday in Davos, Switzerland, and president-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20 to be closer to Canadians.
