Happy April Fools’ Day! Don’t worry. We’re not going to play a joke on you. Here in Quebec, we call today “Poisson d’avril”. Rather than a practical joke, Quebecers stick a paper fish on a friend’s back when they greet one another. Why a fish? There are lots of theories. Some say that since April 1 usually falls during Lent, it is a reference to the tradition of eating fish during this time. Others say that it is because it marks the start of the reproduction cycle of certain fish. 🐠🐟🎏
