Vancouver
THE first hotel to bear the name of US President Donald Trump since he took office has a view of Vancouver harbour and snow-capped peaks beyond. That's where its postcard-perfect image ends.

The tower's wealthy Malaysian developer has faced demands to re-brand the project. Protesters, who had planned two separate demonstrations, gathered on Tuesday outside the main entrance, where police stood by a steel barricade for the building's debut.
