It is, in fact, April 1st, or All Fools Day as it's also known. It's the day when pranks are pulled, trying to sound as realistic as possible. Our radio station had a good one this year, saying the Saskatchewan Roughriders would hold a week of training camp in Yorkton. We even spoke to the head of the Yorkton Minor Football program about it. Of course, he was in on the gag.
I think the one of the best I've heard of was in Thunder Bay, Ontario when they said the Princess cruise ship used in the '80's sitcom "The Love Boat" was going to dock locally. Apparently, people were lining the hills overlooking the port and inner harbour, hoping to catch a glimpse of the ship. Which could never happen.
The vessel was far too large to pass through the locks at Sault Ste Marie.
Here's hoping you didn't get pranked to badly.
