I so went through that last year, thankfully though, here in rural washington, everyone is so awesome, 90% of parents dressed up along with their kids, and it was only children asking for candy, no freeloading immigrants or adults or anything like that, had a blast taking my daughter trick or treating, some houses really went all out with decorations and stuff. I feel for you guys, halloween is so crappy in mtl, include the cold temperatures and it can be downright miserable.
