Dr. Stephanie Liu isn't volunteering to confiscate the Halloween haul. "So, I try hard to not be the candy police," the family physician says in CTV News' safety interview, recommending designated mealtimes for sweets after the night itself rather than a strict ban that can encourage bingeing.

The segment has drawn about 1,200 views in its first 22 hours. Its advice extends from getting children safely around the neighborhood to managing the candy and fears they bring home.

Liu starts with a danger less theatrical than the decorations: traffic. "One of the biggest preventable dangers is actually cars," she says. She recommends reflective tape, flashlights and glow sticks, alongside a direct request for drivers to slow down.

Costumes get a practical inspection, too. Masks should allow clear vision and breathing, hems shouldn't trip anyone up, and face paint merits a patch test. Her Edmonton-specific consideration is room for a coat underneath.

For the candy left afterward, Liu highlights choking hazards for children under four and says cannabis gummies must be locked away.

Her final recommendation concerns the fright rather than the treats: acknowledge a young child's fear instead of insisting there is nothing to be scared of. She offers parents a simple reassurance: "You know, that looks really scary, but you're safe with me."
