[URBAN NOTE] "Toronto's Trump Tower should change its name says city councillor"

[rfmcdonald]

As I said in a Facebook group, I want the fucker's name out of my city. blogTO first reported on the call by Josh Matlow to change the name of the tower, and CP24 went into more detail.

A local city councillor wants to see Donald Trump’s name taken off of Trump Tower in Toronto.

Ward 22 Coun. Josh Matlow told CP24 that in light of Trump's recent call to ban Muslims from entering the United States, Toronto should disassociate itself from the Trump brand altogether.

“He is one of the leading contenders to become president of the United States and over the past while, he has not only compared Mexicans to rapists and criminals but more recently, he has made a public policy proposal that all Muslims should be banned from immigration to the United States," Matlow told CP24 Tuesday afternoon.

"We live in the most diverse and multicultural city in the world, or at least one of them, and I just think now that we know who Donald Trump is and we know what kind of policies he is proposing, it is time for us to disassociate ourselves but ultimately it will be up to the owners of the building to make their choice."
