Vancouver police prepare for protests at new Trump tower

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Police are preparing for protests when President Donald Trump's two oldest sons officially open a new Trump International Hotel and Tower in Vancouver on Tuesday, and the U.S. consulate is warning Americans to stay away.

Const. Jason Doucette said Monday that authorities expected "a number of marches" downtown throughout the day and police would ensure things remained under control.

The anti-Trump protests are set to take place outside the building while brothers Donald Jr. and Eric Trump attend opening events inside.

The Trump-branded tower is a source of anger for many people who resent the lasting reminder of the U.S. president's politics in the coastal city that is known for progressive values and diversity.

Really? The American consulate is telling Americans to stay away, or what? What will you do to Americans that go to Canada to tell the Dumpsters to fuck off. The only thing Americans need to worry about is the Canadian police.

Because if you are arrested they can't or won't help you. So that's their generic warning.
