Growing up in Ontario we always did in school but apparently it's not that popular in the rest of Anglo Canada.

I did but my family is québécois and I grew up in northern NB. I remember it being a thing there but not after moving to northern Ontario.

"Poisson d'avril" is synonymous with "April fools" in my experience even in Ontario but without the actual fish part.

    Never heard of it, and we have a pretty large French population here in Manitoba.
