Country Joe McDonald, whose performance at Woodstock — in which he led a crowd of 400,000 through a subversive cheer before starting his satirical antiwar song “I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-to-Die Rag” — struck a chord so deep, it often obscured the variety and scope of his career, died on Saturday at his home in Berkeley, Calif. He was 84.
In a row of small Yonge Street storefronts, Million Exchange angles for a corner of a booming market.
“Instant buying and selling of digital currencies,” it promises on its website, though the shop is not in the federal registry of authorized crypto businesses. Registration is a requirement meant to deter money laundering and terrorist financing.
Over the last year and a half, more than $200 million worth of digital currencies has moved through a virtual wallet used by Million Exchange.

Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who was killed in US-Israeli strikes, has been chosen as his successor.
Unlike his father, the 56-year-old has largely kept a low profile. He has never held government office, nor given public speeches or interviews, and only a limited number of photos and videos of him have ever been published.
But for years there have been rumours that he held considerable influence behind the scenes in Iran.
A social media account promoting Sikh extremist views is claiming responsibility for the stabbing of a woman in the southwestern Ontario town of LaSalle this week.
LaSalle police on Wednesday identified 45-year-old Nancy Grewal of Windsor, Ont., as the victim in the stabbing. She died March 3 in the area of Todd Lane.
On social media, an account says in Punjabi that Nancy Grewal of Windsor was killed over her criticism of the Khalistani movement.
I am becoming rather fond of Prime Minister Starmer’s major foreign policy announcements. In early January, after US forces swooped into Venezuela and took President Maduro to New York to face trial, Keir Starmer was keen to get straight out in front of the cameras. There he said that he wanted to stress that ‘the UK was not involved in any way in this operation’. As though the whole world had been expecting to hear that the British armed forces were indeed central in snatching the narco-terrorist from Caracas.
This week it was again Starmer’s turn to stand behind a podium, British flags behind him, and deliver another statement that absolutely no one thought necessary. Speaking about the US-led strikes on Iran, he announced solemnly: ‘I want to set out our response.’ What could it be? The world wondered. ‘The United Kingdom played no role in these strikes,’ he declared.
In Alberta, firearms were never just policy. They were tools. On farms, ranches, and in rural communities, they were part of daily life: pest control, livestock protection, and hunting for food. That agrarian foundation shaped a culture of responsibility and familiarity. In much of eastern, urban Canada, firearms are viewed through a different lens — crime prevention, public safety risk, metropolitan policing. That cultural divide sits beneath today’s conflict.
US President Donald J. Trump’s decision to launch his devastating military campaign against Iran’s ayatollahs means that countries, such as Turkey and Qatar, which have previously been ambivalent about their attitude towards Tehran, will now need to undertake a serious reappraisal of where their true interests lie.
Prior to Trump launching “Operation Epic Fury”, the military campaign designed to eliminate Iran’s ability to produce nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles or support its proxies once and for all, several important regional players sought to remain neutral as the tensions deepened between Washington and Tehran over Iran’s nuclear programme.
The greatest threat to Canadians emerging from the war in Iran is domestic terrorism.
While all Canadians are vulnerable given that Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of global terrorism, two groups are the most vulnerable.
The release of the Epstein files has rippled through politics, business and academics, revealing secret ties that many prominent people kept with Jeffrey Epstein. After their connections became public, many said they regretted associating with Epstein and some have stepped down from their roles. Here is a list of famous names in the files and those who have resigned or have been arrested.
The Canada Border Services Agency says it’s putting a pause on removal orders to Lebanon and Israel due to the volatile situation in both countries.
The agency says the temporary halt, known as an Administrative Deferral of Removals, is put on countries that are unsafe due environmental disasters or violence.
Seems like the best time to remove them.
MS NOW’s Chris Hayes continued his vile and disgusting opposition to the current war against Iran on Friday. It is not that Hayes is opposed to the war, but rather how he expresses his opposition. The All In host essentially declared that the U.S. is not differentiating between civilians and combatants, while former colleague Mehdi Hasan accused the crew of USS Charlotte of being worse than Nazis after the torpedoing of the Iranian frigate Dena.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has called byelections in the Toronto ridings of University-Rosedale and Scarborough Southwest and the Quebec riding of Terrebonne — races the Liberals will want to win to secure a thin majority government.
The byelections will be held on April 13, according to a news release posted on the prime minister’s website Sunday morning.
The Libs may lose the Quebec riding, Toronto will vote stupid as is their culture.
President Donald Trump is weighing options that could include deploying special operations forces into Iran to secure or destroy highly enriched uranium stockpiles as part of his pledge that Tehran “will not have a nuclear bomb,” according to multiple reports Saturday.
