Zambian student is arrested in Russia for ‘Nazism’ after TWERKING in front of a war memorial – and faces three years in jail
Russian authorities have launched a criminal investigation against a student from Zambia for dancing in front of a war memorial.
The woman, identified by local media as Rebecca Ziba, 21, posted a clip of herself ‘shaking a**’ next to the Memorial of Glory in the city of Khanty-Mansiysk.
She is now suspected of committing a crime under Part 4 of Article 354.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation which ‘provides for the responsibility for the rehabilitation of Nazism’.
WTF?

NDP promises self-extinction if elected
Ontario NDP pledges free prescription birth control if elected in June
The Ontario NDP is promising to cover all prescription contraception under OHIP if it is elected to form government in June.
“People should not have to shell out $30 a month, every month for years on end, for birth control,” Party Leader Andrea Horwath said in a statement. “And no one who wants contraception should go without because it’s just not in the monthly budget.”
The New Democrats say they could implement free birth control “within weeks” of a victory in June.
A worthwhile initiative.

Incel paranoia comes to Britain’s schools
‘Deadly’ misogyny is apparently surging in the classroom
Exhale, everyone. The results from the NASUWT teachers’ union poll are finally in.
And as the weekend’s headlines all suggest, they paint a very grim picture indeed. Deadly misogyny is “surging” in the classroom, leaving female teachers feeling “scared or intimidated just for showing up to work.” And the reason for all this, of course, is “the influence of the ‘incel’ subculture on teenage boys.”
Burger King’s Brilliant Idea: Making Fun of Catholics During Easter
Burger King has apologized, and it wasn’t for its burgers. That’s the news. An advertising campaign in Spain during Easter caused a flood of complaints calling for a boycott for offending Catholics. On the billboard, the words of the consecration, the most sacred words in the missal, could be read in thick letters: “Take and eat. This is not meat.” And smaller: “100% vegetarian. 100% flavor. Big King Vegetable.” In another ad from the same campaign, there was the biblical reference: “Flesh of my flesh,” with the word “flesh” crossed out and replaced by “vegetable.” This blasphemous campaign launched just as Spain fills up with religious tourism to celebrate Holy Week. What a brilliant idea, Burger King!

IMF report warns that haywire climate plans could trigger energy price crack-up
Tuesday’s 180-page World Economic Outlook from the International Monetary Fund is a gloomy portrait of a global economy heading into slower growth due to the war in Ukraine, pandemic lockdowns, monetary risks, fiscal extravaganzas and other products of interventionist policy-making. It makes for unsettling reading. No less grim is the second IMF report of the day, a 100-page Global Financial Stability Report, which warned that inflation, private debt, sovereign debt and other risks have risen in the wake of Vladimir Putin’s war.
The mystery of the FBI and stolen Civil War gold could be revealed shortly

Mark MacDonald, national Indigenous archbishop of the Anglican church resigns over sex abuse accusations
An influential national archbishop of the Anglican Church of Canada resigned from office and all church duties after being accused of sexual misconduct.
The departure of Mark MacDonald, national Indigenous archbishop with oversight of pastoral care for Indigenous Canadian church members since 2007, came suddenly on Wednesday, while the church’s handling of additional — apparently unrelated — allegations of sexual misconduct was already under fire.

Freeland, allies walk out of G20 meeting over Russian participation

FDA enlists states in Lucky Charms probe, company hands out coupons to victims
The feds have enlisted multiple states to assist an investigation of reports of sickness caused by Lucky Charms — and meanwhile customers are complaining that the sugary breakfast cereal’s manufacturer, General Mills, has had a lame response.
The Food and Drug Administration has tapped at least four states — New York, Michigan, Kansas and Arkansas — whose health departments are now are contacting and interviewing consumers who have reported bouts of vomiting and diarrhea after eating Lucky Charms, according to customers and state officials.
It’s likely a banal reason will be found explaining these Unlucky Charms but we have been fortunate to date that neither the water supply or food chain has been successfully tampered with.
We never got cereal like this when I was a kid. We got Cornflakes, Shredded wheat, porridge and occasionally those huge bags of wheat puffs.
Toronto teacher under investigation for hostile mask email
The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) is investigating a teacher who has been placed on home assignment after he sent a hostile email to students claiming that those without masks are “maybe even killing me” and that any unmasked students will need to sit outside in the hallway or face “detentions and other consequences.”
