Obama-Clinton organizer says Mulcair best bet to defeat Harper
Jeremy Bird was President Obama’s national field director in 2012, helping to identify and motivate individual voters at the grassroots level. More recently, he was one of the figures inside the political action committee promoting Clinton as a presidential candidate.
He’s now well acquainted with Canadian politics, and speaks with ease about regional support levels, vote splits and party records.
“A lot of what you see from the Conservative policies of the Harper government are a lot like the rhetoric we’re hearing from the Republican Party primaries: economic policies to help the rich get richer at the expense of the middle class, a budget that’s only balanced on the back of working class families ... denials of climate change,” Bird said in an interview from Washington, D.C.
“Fortunately, we share democratic values with the NDP, and I think climate change is just one example of that.”
