Yup I agree that people will become de sensitized so I view this as initially, a good thing, long term, horrible Idea.

Is it wrong that I'd want to spray-paint "+30 points!" on top of the child's head?

I'd sue the for public funding of discrimination. They have cleverly fucked up the shape of that ball so that it looks like an egg, and the girl is chasing it to symbolize her only desire in life to grow up and be a mother. Canada is saying all women are good for is making babies.

Bad Canada.

It might work in the very beginning, and then people are actually going to start running kids over because they think it's just one of the fake ones.

Well if kids weren't stupid and parents were morons kids wouldn't be in the road in the first place.

Kids in Alaska manage to not get hit from 1st grade on in the winter for the entire length of the school year so why can't these dumbasses do it.

When I lived there I walked 3/4 of a mile during the winter and guess what I had the sense to look for the cars since they couldn't see me nor much else and I'd be willing to bet per capita less kids got hit there than the continental US. Kids and people who get hit are generally hit because they are stupid and assume merely having the "right" to do something means they should do it...
