  Ottawa Now - Will chocolate prices be the scariest fright on Halloween Night?
    October 6, 2025  
   
  If you are taking part in Halloween trick-or-treating this year, the biggest fright of the night might be the price of a chocolate bar. Recent figures from Stats Canada showcase a 28.8 percent price increase for confectionery items, observed between August 2021 and August 2025. Over the past year alone, that increase was a staggering 6.3 percent. So as we head into the Halloween season, how super-scary is that price tag going to be? Kristy Cameron tries to gauge the situation with Mike Von Massow on today’s Ottawa Now. He is a Professor of Food, Agricultural, and Resource Economics at the University of Guelph.
    Police in Waterloo charged a teenage girl in connection with the collision that sent four youths to hospital earlier this month.
