It's April 2, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Vancouver News today, your AI-powered local news. April 1 had social media like a prank storm, with companies worldwide dropping jokes from German police chickens to T-Mobile's Cologne pun and cat, hair shirts. Here in Vancouver, the fun ramped up local style, turning time mines into a laugh fest. The Vancouver subreddit fell to a goose takeover, rebranded goose-coover, complete with post-warning folks not to either snacks or baby scents. Geese run faster, transling jumped in with compass glasses, smart specs letting writers tab gates using just their face. Tourism folks honored Seth Rogan with a goofy monument that looks straight out of a muppish show. City counselor P. Fry trolled with street interviews, like asking why science worlds glow being flat. Students at UBC launched Meet Me, an effort debating fav meets like, crispy turkey skin. What has got creative too? With ice cream pairing, wet dog and rain cloud flavors, breweries teasing mini-brews, and

a hotel pitching tongue in cheek. Stays. All these gags wrapped up by afternoon, back to business as usual, proving April 1 keeps Vancouver's vibe sharp and silly year after year.
