The collapse is coming and everyone with a pulse knows it. Tariffs or no tariffs, this was the end game while the Creepy Ones destroy our citizens.



Cassandra Shedden has sometimes had to rummage around her home, looking for things to hawk, just to pay for baby formula.

The 33-year-old mother of three in Thunder Bay, Ont., describes the price of formula today as “gross.”

According to Statistics Canada, formula prices have climbed nearly 84 per cent since 2017 and about 30 per cent in just the last two years.

Sometimes you're trying to choose between bills and feeding your kids," said Shedden.

She added she'd make minimum payments on bills or try to top up her Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) money and other government income by earning a few extra dollars driving for a delivery service — all to ensure her baby’s bottle is full of formula and her children are fed.
