Today on The Current:

Doug Ford's Progressive Conservatives have won another majority government in Ontario. Matt Galloway dissects the results with Karl Baldauf, the vice president at public affairs firm McMillan Vantage, and former chief of staff to Ontario's finance minister; Marieke Walsh, a political reporter at the Globe and Mail; and Vassy Kapelos, the host of CBC's Power & Politics

Then, Russian troops left some things behind — including boots and military equipment — when they withdrew from the areas around Kyiv. Now, a museum in Kyiv has created an exhibition from those items. We discuss preserving history as it unfolds, with Dmytro Hainetdinov, head of the education department at the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War; and field archeologist Damian Koropeckyj.

And guidebook author Rick Steves tells us about the joy of returning to travel after the pandemic grounded him — and his tour company — for almost two years.
