Our northern neighbors: Killjoys

The CBC is issuing ten things you should know for Halloween safety. No masks, jack-o'-lanterns, or darkness (hard to do that in Canada, unless you start at 3 in the afternoon.) This is my favorite, though:

6. Build a spooky but safe and well-wired haunted house
With spooky smoke machines, lights and screeching soundtracks, Halloween enthusiasts can put on a haunting good show. Secure extension cords so trick-or-treaters can easily pass by without stumbling. When buying lights, check for certification from the Canadian Standards Association or the Underwriters' Laboratory of Canada. Also, check for frayed wires and be sure not to overload outlets.

I'm pretty sure they made a Red Green episode out of this, eh?
