Staff who organized and approved the fake signing, including high-ranking experts like Gerald Butts and Katie Telford, either did not realize no such document for signing exists in Canada, or they are so in love with Donald Trump's successful "Executive Order Signing Photo Opps" that they just invented a Canadian version which carries no weight in law. Either way, it's a disturbing thought. Image: CPAC
