"Anyone looking for evidence of secret wealth would be disappointed: In 2025, [Zohran Mamdani] and his wife reported a total income of roughly $145,000, the bulk of it coming from his state assemblyman’s salary of $131,296. [...] They reported $1,643 in royalties from Mr. Mamdani’s former career as a musician by the name of Mr. Cardamom."

I don't know why, but I find the idea that #Mamdani was a musician named "Mr. Cardamom" to be really delightful.

We have an anti-democratic premier who really wanted to be a mayor. Except being Ontario's new Premier Mayor is better because you get to be the mayor of everywhere. More centralized control over municipalities from the premier's office. #GiftLink 🎁 #OnPoli #ToPoli www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...
