Executive Orders: Donald Trump and Bar Muslims

executive orders: It's not surprising that the inauguration of Donald Trump was met with the largest outpouring of anger in living memory, according to Rabble. In the first month he proved our worst fears to be justified. The murder by a white supremacist, fuelled by the Islamophobia of Marie Le Pen and Donald Trump, stands as a shocking notice of what is at stake in 2017 and beyond. Executive orders to build a wall against Mexico and bar Muslims foster a climate of fear and division, while his cabinet of billionaires are set to gut labour standards, public education and equality rights. The cabinet was shuffled, disgraced former PM Brian Mulroney was recruited, and the Keystone pipeline decision applauded. In Canada, the Trudeau government is positioning itself to accommodate the new reality of an America First doctrine. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
