On Friday, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order that temporarily suspends immigration for citizens of seven countries with large Muslim populations; Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. The ban is scheduled to last for 90 days.
In the wake of the controversial move, the Vancouver Southsiders supporters group has decided not to organize charter bus trips to the USA until border conditions change. The group, which boasts roughly 700 members, has routinely gone on trips to Portland and Seattle in the past, carrying the hashtag #Capsontour. From the statement on the group’s website:
Our supporter’s group was founded on the principles of inclusivity, acceptance and respect for all who sought to stand with us.
