On 28 February 2017, satirical web site the Burrard Street Journal published an article appearing to report that two of President Donald Trump's sons were detained at an airport in Canada over ties to a fascist regime:
The two sons of a former American billionaire, had flown to the pacific northwest for the unveiling of the new Trump tower in Downtown Vancouver.
However upon arrival the brothers were reportedly selected for random inspection by the Canadian Border Services Agency and ultimately detained under suspicion that they may be connected to an oppressive regime in a foreign nation.
