Spoof headlines or real?

Some of the headlines in today's paper looks like spoofs or satires, something The Onion or This Hour Has 22 Minutes might have come up with.

  • Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion
  • Canada weighs sending soldiers to Greenland in face of U.S. threats
  • US President ties Greenland threats to Nobel snub
  • Trump invites Netanyahu to join his Board of Peace

Unfortunately, they are all too real. As a Globe and Mail editorial put it: "It is a time of unthinkable things, that move from impossibility to improbability to reality with disorienting and alarming speed".
