This week on This Is That: We talk to a concerned resident of Kingston, Ontario that is trying to get Halloween celebrations regulated next year, claiming that it has become too scary for her children.

MP Herb Olsen comes on the show to explain why, due to his lack of communication, Canada had to forfeit a substantial trade deal with Germany.

Our entertainment correspondent Terry Peppers fills us in on all the exciting Canadian television shows coming to households across the country this spring.

Peter Oldring brings us a heart-warming documentary about a donkey with the heart of a racehorse who, if given the chance to race professionally on the Canadian horse racing circuit, could capture the spirit of this nation.

Plus, we play your calls in reaction to a story we ran last about a Paris Fashion magazine ranking Canada in the list of the "Top 5 Countries with the Most Unattractive People."

This week we also broke the news that Canada is "America's top hat" and is the "former home of professional hockey." We also posted one of the phone calls that you'll hear in this episode in full because it was too good not to share.
