A new poll suggests Canadians are pretty well 50-50 when it comes to handing out candy to trick or treaters this year.

Forty-eight per cent of the more than 1500 adults who completed the online Leger survey say they will be participating in handing out candy, while 46 percent say they are opting out and 6 percent are still deciding.

For those with children in their household, the proportion of those dishing out treats jumps to 63 percent.
