"but it was only on Sunday, reacting to President Trump’s executive order temporarily blocking entry by citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries, that the B.C. Premier announced her government .."

Can't you read? The headline and this paragraph state that BC 'reacted'  on Sunday specifically because of Trumps actions and EO  on Friday.

Xenophobic?? What? Xenophobia is the IRRATIONAL fear of outsiders. It's perfectly RATIONAL for Americans, who have been victims and are targeted worldwide and at home by Islamic fundamentalists to verify identities and intentions of people from the 7 failed states that have known terror training camps. These threats come from Canada. Remember Ressam the Canadian passport holder from Montreal in 1999 caught at the BC border with a car of explosives going to LAX.
