Halloween party won’t last for chocolate lovers as prices set to rise, joining other foods
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – That bowl of chocolates for ninjas and ghosts won’t cost you more this Halloween. Picking the perfect sweet for your Valentine could.
The cost of ingredients in chocolate bars is rising, and the nation’s biggest candy makers have already warned of price hikes next year. And it’s not just costs that are pushing up prices. A growing sweet tooth around the world means more demand for chocolate.
Here are the global trends putting pressure on the confection:
PRICIER INGREDIENTS
Hershey and Mars, which together account for about two-thirds of U.S. chocolate sales, are hiking prices. Hershey cited the rising cost of cocoa, dairy and nuts when it announced an 8 per cent increase in the average wholesale price of its candy this summer. Those higher costs weighed on the chocolate maker’s most recent earnings, which fell 4 per cent.
Hershey CEO, John Bilbrey, said in an interview with CNBC earlier this month that shoppers wouldn’t see a price increase this year because his company negotiated prices for its holiday items well in advance…

Will income splitting be announced today?
– moneysense.ca
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Finance Minister Joe Oliver will make a major announcement Thursday that is expected to include some of the fiscal measures for families promised in the last election campaign.
Multiple sources tell The Canadian Press the package will resemble the income-splitting commitment that was a centrepiece of the Conservatives’ platform in 2011, made contingent on a balanced budget.
One government insider said to expect the prime minister to roll out “a significant package that will bring relief to families and fulfil previous commitments.”
The idea is that spouses would pool their incomes when they fill out their tax returns, reducing their taxable income depending on their financial situation. There is already income splitting for seniors.
The promise was wildly popular among Conservatives in 2011, but has since faced much controversy.
The late Jim Flaherty publicly raised doubts about the soundness of the policy during his final days as finance minister earlier this year…
