What happens following the Moscow concert hall terrorist attack?

Why did Donald Trump’s ‘Truth Social’ receive a multi-billion dollar valuation? The Doug Ford government is tabling the 2024 Ontario budget today. What are the takeaways? What is going on at Burlington City Hall? Two senior staffers are now gone, and councillors ready a challenge to strong mayor powers. The protest encampment outside of City Hall continues, despite yesterday’s Notice of Contravention. How can the city address this situation, what should be done?
