Daily Edition

A day for roads, crosswalks, signals, ferry landings, station platforms, and the care people owe one another in motion.
Canadian Halloween is American Halloween with colder weather. The costumes are the same but the coats go over them. The little ninja who spent an hour on his mask is now a ninja in a parka and nobody can tell who he is. The pillowcase full of candy will last until November 10. The candy tax levied by parents is real and it is not optional.
Not a traditional Mexican holiday, but adopted with enthusiasm by the younger generation. The celebration includes costume parties, trick-or-treating (in the cities), and the tradition of watching horror movies. The Halloween in Mexico is a blend of American and Mexican traditions, and the most popular costumes are La Llorona (the Weeping Woman), the Catrina (the skeleton lady), and the Aztec mummy.
