Canada’s charities asked for a $10-billion aid package, saying demand for the community aid they give has soared while donations have declined and their fundraising efforts have been diminished. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledged $350 million Tuesday, saying the work charities do at ground level is essential in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. (The Canadian Press)
