A city councillor is calling on the owners of Toronto’s Trump Tower to change its name after Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump proposed a ban on all Muslims entering the United States Monday night.

On Tuesday, midtown Coun. Josh Matlow took to Twitter to speak out against Trump’s comments, calling the real estate mogul “a fascist.”

“I believe the owners of Toronto’s Trump Tower should change its name,” Matlow wrote on Twitter. “Toronto is a diverse and respectful city.”

I’m writing to the owner of the Trump tower today to make this request,” he added.

On Monday, Trump called for a "complete shutdown" on all Muslims entering the U.S., in the wake of the shootings in San Bernardino, Calif. that left 14 people dead.

Later on Tuesday, Matlow continued to make his case for the renaming of the downtown hotel.

“(Trump) 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.

"We live in the most diverse and multicultural city in the world…and I just think now that we know who Donald Trump is and we know what kind of policies he is proposing," Matlow added. “He is demonstrating xenophobic, fascist, intolerant and racist behaviour that I think decent people around the world want to disassociate themselves with.”

The Trump Tower, located at Bay and Adelaide Streets, is owned by Val Levitan and Canadian businessman Alex Shnaider. Trump is a shareholder in the project and doesn’t own the building. The tower, however, is managed by his company.

In a statement issued Tuesday, the owners of the building, Talon International Development Inc., said, “Donald Trump’s opinions as a private citizen in no way reflect the position of the company’s views or those of its investors and owners.”

Toronto is not the only city dealing with this issue. A Trump Tower is under construction in Vancouver and politicians are calling for the developer to remove the name before the building is completed.

And Matlow was not the only politician to express his outrage over Trump’s remarks.

Fellow GOP candidate Jeb Bush tweeted calling Trump’s policies “not serious.”

British Prime Minister David Cameron also condemned Trump’s proposed ban as “unhelpful and quite simply wrong.”

Recent polls show Trump is again at the top of the Republican presidential hopefuls.
