35% of Quebec survey participants said they would not, while an additional 36% said that they do not usually distribute candy anyway.
On the other hand, 63% of survey respondents said they planned to welcome trick-or-treaters.
Meanwhile, 44% of Canadians across the nation who responded to the survey say they still plan to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters.
So, if our math is correct, going out looking for candy this year will be a bit of a coin toss, so you may want to get a feel for the more generous neighbourhoods in your area.
