Trump International Hotel and Donald Trump

Justin Trudeau: But his recent call to ban all Muslims from entering the United States has sparked widespread condemnation, according to CTV. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, while not mentioning Trump by name, condemned his politics of fear, intolerance and hateful rhetoric on Wednesday. Robertson has sent a passionate letter to the Holborn Group, which is building the 63-storey Trump International Hotel and Tower on West Georgia Street. "As mayor, I'm proud that Vancouver is known throughout the world for our steadfast commitment to diversity, equality and freedom from discrimination and hatred," he wrote. "In contrast, Donald Trump hateful positions and commentary remind us all of much darker times in our world past -- and it is incumbent on all of us to forcefully challenge hatred in all of the ways it confronts us." Trump has made a number of anti-immigrant statements since announcing his intention to seek the Republican nomination. In his letter, Robertson referenced a petition signed by more than 50,000 people asking that the businessman name be removed from the Vancouver tower. Robertson told reporters that he has asked acting city manager Sadhu Johnston to see if council has any power to change the name if the developer doesn't take action, though he noted the city lacked any "obvious tools." The Holborn Group did not immediately respond to a request for comment. City councillor Kerry Jang has also called on the developer to ditch the Trump brand. "It is their belief, and my belief, that Trump name and brand have no more place on Vancouver skyline than his ignorant ideas have in the modern world," Robertson said. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
