Instead of candy, little ghosts and goblins on some doorsteps are getting passes to go swimming, skating and even skiing.
I hope they get egged.

Funny – no comments allowed. It’s almost as if they knew that “That’s really what we’re trying to do, is trying to shift the culture and shift people’s behaviours…” from a “public servant” is offensive on its face. Who would’ve thought?
The days of Hallowe’en seem numbered anyway in our New Puritan Era.
I have always resented how adults appropriated what used to be a fun night for kids and made it all about themselves anyway.
Why is it that the people who are trying to shift other people’s behaviours always have the strangest behaviours themselves?
I’m sure that the little kids would be overjoyed to walk for miles in frigid temperatures encumbered by bulky costumes to receive a recreation pass which will likely hang on the refrigerator until it expires. Contrast this to a tasty chocolate bar or bag of chips. Those pretentious fools that feel compelled to hand out useless tokens on Hallowe’en rank even lower on the humanity scale than the cheapskates who turn out their lights and draw their curtains. At least those who pretend they’re not home are not attempting to “shift the culture”. They’re just cheap and I would prefer a cheap neighbor over a phony one any day.
TEACH KIDS ABOUT TAXES THIS HALLOWEEN …when they come to your door reach deep into their bags with both hands, grab half their candy and then tell them you’re giving it to other kids who are too lazy to come out and get their own candy.
Yeah! Great idea, and tell them you’re representing the government and will share the candy with other kids that don’t get to enjoy Hallowe’en because it is not part of their culture. Perhaps that will get the little 5 year old darling snowflakes to have a heart to heart with their parents the next morning and they’ll decide to forgo Hallowe’en next year to show solidarity with the poor unfortunate immigrant kids that don’t celebrate these ‘white, oppressive’ holidays. Looking to the future this could save a lot of money, as there won’t be anymore tipped over outhouses to be righted on November 1st. in Regina.
I’m giving the kids Carbon Credits, Planned Parenthood Pamphlets and copies of the Koran.
I’m handing out Kombucha tea to the neighborhood kids. I can’t wait to see their happy smiles and sincere “Thank you, Mr. Kenji!” The local neighborhood kids are so polite and well raised by their leftist parents. They will all be in non-offensive costumes this year … well … except for the ONE little girl who STILL dresses up like a Princess. She’s a total embarrassment to the neighborhood. You’d think a 5 year old girl would have learned to STOP all her hostile cisgendered conformity by Kindergarten. What a shame.
“Last year we sold out maybe within a week.”
It just may be that people have figured out that they can purchase a book of passes (10 for $5) and use them for family members. You are offering quite a savings, $33.92 retail value for $5.00.
Great!
I can use the savings to buy candy for the kids.
All of the above, and yes, hopefully they get egged.
Is there nothing the Marxist SJWs do not want to pollute?
“No ‘terrorists’ or ‘pocahotties’: Toronto schools set out Halloween costume ground rules”
Whaaaaaat? No Omar Khadr’s this year getting money or candy while holding a severed head of a white western person?
What about Nelson Mandela or better a Whinni Mandela costume burning someone with a gasoline tire necklace?
Please someone tell me why we can’t have a Chief Spence with fish broth running down her face costume?
It will be as fun as biting into a caramel-coated onion.
Don’t use that word – ‘Chief’.
You might offend someone.
And don’t call me Shirley.
That’s because the kiddies who come to the door are obviously candy cheats.
I hope they get egged.
Hahahaha *thinks back to my childhood* Hahahaha

“jan scheit says… handing out copies of the Koran”
mind you… you’re actually doing this, egging is probably
the most benign thing that could happen.
ps… you have comprehensive fire insurance, right?

The article says the one time child fee for swimming is normally $3.92. My local pool charges $15(!!!) for a day pass for anyone between the ages of 5 and 60. Open skate at my local ice rink is $10 on Friday afternoon and $7 any other day. A two pound bag of assorted Hershey’s snack sized candy bars is $9.94 at Walmart right now.
PleasepleasePLEASE fill my kids’ plastic jack-o-lanterns with those coupons. I’ll give them a candy bar for each one they bring home, and be happy to pocket the savings.
That stuff has ALCOHOL in it… you can’t let kids have anything like that!
/sarc
Yeah … it’s got SUGAR in it too (to ferment the bacteria into the alcohol). But it still sounds sooooo ex-ot-ic … and foreign … ohhhhhh wowwwww maaaaan. And it tastes FOUL … which means it must be “good” for the bratty little SJW’s in training.
One would think it would be even more popular these days as a training night on how to use extortion to get something for nothing.
Don’t call me Shirley. Ha!

When I was a kid, I got soooo much candy in my bag that I was still eating it 3 months later. A few people handing out pool passes to the kids won’t deprive them in the least.
The guy who’s giving away ski lift tickets must be loaded. With money, not vodka. (Though maybe that, too.)
I hope the yupsters handing these out are writing their cell phone numbers on the back. That way the kids can call them for a ride to and from the pool instead of having to bother their parents for one. Attaching a gift card from Sport Chek for a pair of skates or skis would be appreciated too.
Hallowe’en hasn’t been the same since the invention of indoor plumbing. There is nothing as satisfying to a 12 or 13 year old as the sound of a shithouse crashing to the ground.
The adrenaline rush as you run like hell can’t be described.
There’s a place in my town that used to let kids choose from a giant basket of paper back books. Good ones, too.
That was a hit.
Cheap water-pistols and those rubber band planes are a good alternative to candy, too
