April Fool

April 1, 2026

Every year on this day, there are the usual pranksters who manage to get someone with an April Fool’s joke. We’ve all been a victim and some of us have been on the other end. Most times, it’s in good fun.

But sadly, there are so many fools around these days that it’s not a joke anymore. Nor is it limited to one day a year either.

Consider the following:

• My loopy-loo neighbor down the block, a big Bills fan, won’t go to see her favorite team anymore because that would be “supporting Trump.” Not surprisingly, she and her husband are also part of the moronic “elbows up” crowd. In fact, he changed the picture on his Facebook profile to a “Never51” graphic. She’s also proudly shot up with as much gene-altering poison as the government will give her, unable to see the correlation with her serious health problems.
• Next door to them are a couple of social justice warriors teachers. She works at a higher years indoctrination center high school, while he works at an lower years indoctrination center elementary school. As expected, both have been on the Sunshine List for years. When a CPC canvasser came around during last year’s federal election, he told the guy that he doesn’t vote Conservative because he’s a teacher. In other words, he hands his ballot to his woke union rep.
• Walking down a street in the North End this morning was a guy who looked to be in his mid-30s and somewhat normal. Except when you consider that he was wearing a dipshit mask. Outside. And sadly, he’s not alone. Such people are so far gone that one can make a compelling case for having them institutionalized.
• Pulling out from Zehr’s at Fairview Mall this morning was a woman in her early 60s with a “Canada is not for sale” bumper sticker. Obviously someone who watches and believes every word she sees on state media. Especially CBC. Because they wouldn’t lie. You can trust them.

As someone on X put it, this country has become one big insane asylum.

And it’s being run by gangsters.
