NEW: Zohran Mamdani vows to push a race-based "equity" plan on New Yorkers because he claims White families are making more money compared to Black families.
Sounds like race-based discrimination to me. pic.twitter.com/gSDh7rtnQ1

As Patti Jo notes isn’t that just like Sharia law’s Jizya tax on infidels?
Until the U.K.’s political and cultural elite can defend confidently what it means to be British, the nation will sacrifice women’s safety, Jewish security, and core liberal principles such as free speech.
In Britain, March meant Ramadan. My local supermarket advised me to “Make this holy month meaningful” and offered “everything you need for Iftar, Suhoor, and beyond,” including a range of halal foods. At televised Premiership football matches, play stopped to allow Muslim players to break their fast. Days before Eid, Muslims gathered in London’s Trafalgar Square to pray in public. The Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, hailed the “power of being Muslim” as he addressed thousands at the “biggest Iftar in the Western world.”
Stop with the grass. Yards are racist and based on white supremacy, according to this person (don't assume gender).

Last summer, Canada’s Supreme Court sent an inadvertent message to all young offenders in Canada: you will almost certainly never be sentenced as an adult.
Even before the Court released its judgement in R v. I.M., which changed the standard for which youth can be sentenced as adults, it was already true that young offenders would be treated more leniently in sentencing than adults. For a second-degree murder conviction, for example, which comes with a life sentence without parole for 10 to 25 years for an adult, a youth offender would be eligible for parole after five to seven years, depending on his or her age at the time of the offence, even if the youth was sentenced as an adult. That discrepancy is reasonably justified if we, as a society, accept that young people are of “diminished moral blameworthiness” for their actions compared to fully developed adults.
The fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran appears to have broken down after Tehran shut the Strait of Hormuz and attacked a Saudi oil pipeline.
Iran stopped oil tankers heading through the critical sea passage in protest at continued Israeli air strikes on Lebanon. The US insisted Lebanon was not covered by the ceasefire agreement.
On Wednesday afternoon, Israel hit 100 targets in 10 minutes during a surprise attack on central Beirut, in what it said was a campaign to root out Iranian-backed Hezbollah forces. Some 112 people died, according to local authorities. Iran also claimed that “enemy” air strikes hit Tehran.
The Canadian military is studying what kind of tanks and armoured troop carriers it will need in the future and how quickly those projects can and will be advanced, says the commander of the army.
An internal presentation, delivered to a closed-door audience in the United Kingdom last winter, suggested the timelines for buying new armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs) and main battle tanks (MBTs) were being accelerated.
In a recent interview with CBC News, Lt.-Gen. Mike Wright acknowledged the need to move quickly on the modernization of the army, but suggested the recent lessons and technological advances on the battlefield, particularly in Ukraine, need to be factored into future decisions on what kind of armoured vehicles and tanks are purchased.
Russia, China and the Middle East are theaters where Western strategic illusions tend to erode too slowly — almost politely — until reality forces its way through.
The rulers of the Middle East learned long ago — from the United States falling for their Charlie Brown football routine every time — how to outwit the West or outlast it.
With the Gaza Strip, US President Donald J. Trump sets up a “Board of Peace” ostensibly to oversee the permanent disarmament of Hamas, only to pack it with Islamists dedicated to waging war, who have no interest in seeing any kind of peace, and then turns his attention elsewhere while Hamas comfortably builds up its power base again.
Calling Premier Doug Ford’s controversial Bill 5 a “dangerously undemocratic” law that gives the government “unconstitutional king-like powers,” a coalition of public interest and environmental groups announced a legal challenge against the use of special economic zones.
Filed on March 31 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the application questions the “constitutional validity of the Special Economic Zones Act” and, according to Ecojustice lawyer Lindsay Beck, the coalition wants the court to nullify the use of those zones, saying they override other laws and protections.
Fresh off of cheering on Iran for how they “humiliated” President Trump by trying to kill American airmen, MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell kicked off Tuesday night’s show by suggesting Adolf Hitler wasn’t as bad a leader as Trump. He went even further and suggested that America committed suicide as a civilization when voters elected Trump a second time.
Curt and Gwen Firestone live half the year in B.C. on Salt Spring Island and the other half in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
Besides the obvious draw of sunny weather, the pair, who are in their 80s, chose Mexico because they require timely access to medical specialists, something they say they can’t get at home.
The unofficial start to the 2028 presidential nomination cycle begins now. It won’t really be “official” until the primary debates begin in the summer of 2027, of course, but there are telltale signs that it’s already kicking off. Despite not being the news-controlling powerhouses that they used to be, mainstream media outlets and their multitudes of biased hacks are still working off of old playbooks. One of their oldest tricks is to tear down the Republican who worries them most regarding any given election. It’s no secret that the monster under their beds for 2028 is Vice President JD Vance.
The conventional wisdom is that the Canadian economy should be a big winner from the surge in oil prices following the escalation of conflict in the Middle East. Canada is the fourth-largest exporter of crude oil in the world: when prices rise, Canadian oil generates more revenue, corporate income, higher wages, and government royalties.
The OECD’s latest outlook points to a more complicated reality. Canada is no longer a petrostate; while the oil and gas sector is still large enough to cushion Canada from the worst macroeconomic consequences of the Iran war, the structure and geography of Canadian economic growth have added many more trade-offs to managing resource profits.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday bashed leaks and media reports about the terms of a U.S.-Iran ceasefire, as confusion over the agreement threatened to undermine the fragile pause in fighting.
In a post on Truth Social, the president said that “Numerous Agreements, Lists, and Letters” being circulated online are being “sent out by people that have absolutely nothing to do with the U.S.A. / Iran Negotiation, in many cases, they are total Fraudsters, Charlatans, and WORSE.”
A new report suggests that Ontarians are falling behind their American neighbours when it comes to living standards.
The study conducted by right-wing think-tank the Fraser Institute finds Ontario ranks near the bottom of the Great Lakes region when it comes to GDP per person, a metric researchers use to evaluate economic prosperity.
The study suggests the gap with nearby U.S. states has widened significantly over the past two decades.

The US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire on Tuesday barely an hour before Donald Trump’s deadline to obliterate Iran was set to expire, with Tehran agreeing to temporarily reopen the strait of Hormuz.
Israel also agreed to the ceasefire, the White House said. As Trump announced he was suspending his plans to escalate attacks across Iran, the US president said he had received a 10-point proposal from Iran which was a “workable basis on which to negotiate”.
But what is in this plan from Iran, and will Trump accept it?
Whether the Strait of Hormuz is open or not is anybody’s guess reports are all over the map.
