Yeah...I thought so. 'This is That' is a weekly CBC show that produces stories that spoof the population. It was a JOKE, people. They also had a story about school soccers in Ontario, but not using real balls. They bases of the story was that the players would announce they ahd the ball and what they were doing with it and thern shout...SCORE! A ref, usually a teacher would be acting as abriter. That raised such hoo rah...was really quite funny to hear it unfold.

Yup, you let the cat out of the bag... One of their spoofs I liked was the supposed senior official from Parks Canada that said they wanted to start charging visitors to national parks a fee if they happened to see wild animals like a bear, elk, etc. even if they didn't intend to see one and all visitors were to make a report if they actually saw an animal.
In truth though, trashing of provincial parks has been an ongoing issue for many years.
Funny thing is many people fall for the "This and that"stories believing it's true and even call in..
All their stuff is so redicilous I can't believe anyone wouldn't realize it's made up..
Loved the one about proposal making NASCAR race track around Stanley park in Vancouver lol
