Beyond some morons on social media, it seems few took advantage of April Fools to try to score laughs about the coronavirus, which is something that shouldn’t be miraculous, but is these days.
One notable exception was the City of St. Albert, which announced residents should watch the early television broadcasts where they would be selecting via lottery ball machine which birth years would be eligible for additional doses of vaccine. Talk about brainless.
People are sick of the pandemic, and probably could use a laugh, but that’s not it.
Sherwood Park did the old motorized-trash-bin gag.
For the record, the News stopped April Fools in 2016 after a certain president of the United States made the idea of a fun, false and frivolous story in the media no fun for anyone.

Provincial police idea faces opposition
Poll
Yes
By Collin Gallant on March 11, 2021.
Rural municipalities in southern Alberta are soliciting support to shelve the idea of creating a provincial police force as they submit local policing information for a provincial study. That issue, outlined in the Fair Deal Report, could be put to a province-wide referendum next fall, but this week municipal governments in southeast Alberta said they will develop their positions. A letter from the Municipality of the Crowsnest Pass, circulated to other councils this month, tells Alberta Justice Minister Kayce Madu that it feels the RCMP serves the community well and that added costs of an Alberta service aren’t justified.
