Oh boy. The rain is here. Yeah!! But then I get this Tornado warning. @thegodshow.com could I please speak to your manager?

This is the enormous fire in the Thunderbay district. Smoke will impact Northern States and most of Ontario. Photo by: Stephanie paavola. Ontario.

The attached photo shows an enormous wildfire across a forested landscape. Thick, towering columns of dark grey and orange smoke fill nearly the entire sky, illuminated by flames burning beneath. In the foreground, white water churns behind a moving boat, while a small stand of evergreen trees remains surrounded by smoke and fire in the distance. The scale of the smoke plume dwarfs the landscape, conveying the intensity of the wildfire.

Lol. 😂 Imagine this: a sixty-pound dog suddenly deciding a chipmunk has breached the perimeter… inside an 8x8 office. It took me a few seconds to process the chaos and figure out what the hell was happening. The chipmunk survived. My office not so much.

Pride Month means Pride cupcakes, loud colours, and supporting our middle one’s fundraising efforts. Part of each purchase goes to Rainbow Railroad, which is already pretty great. But Ry is also raising funds for Lambert House LGBTQ+ Youth Center. Pride, but with frosting. As it should be.

I’ve discovered the ultimate Canadian forearm workout: Hold a tray of Timmies out front while doing 100 km/h down a dirt road and don’t spill a drop. Beginner mode: two hands. Advanced mode: one hand. Veteran mode: one hand while drinking the fourth cup. Coffee is training. ☕🇨🇦

Morning. Quick laps on the elevated track through the woods. Good reset. PM reminding Dani that separatist fire burns everyone felt on point. Her “Mind your business” ignores one detail: Canada is his business. And Turnip using Memorial Day to insult veterans again? Tracks. Coffee’s on. ☕️📖

Elevated indoor track corridor with forest views through large windows.

Morning. Snow. In May. Sure. Timeline’s busted anyway. Into the city before the weekend shifts to writing and projects. Meanwhile the separatist crowd keeps posting like Moscow’s interns are on overtime. Division’s the product. Coffee’s on. Stay grounded. Build anyway. ☕️📖

Omg. This guy best be facing jail time. One of the largest data breaches in Canadian history. You can’t write this stuff. The seppies are infighting 🍿 this guy is a true duche-canoe. This is the separatist demise.

Statement from the Centurion Project saying volunteers used a third-party dataset, denying access to contact info, and pausing the app pending privacy law compliance.

Tweet by David Parker dismissing criticism, calling critics “untrained soldiers” and framing the situation as “lawfare.”

Blaming PM Carney for UK housing, global inflation, and Canada’s economy is pure spin. Inflation hit after he left. Housing is decades deep. Pandemic response? Every G7 did it. Canada still has the lowest debt-to-GDP in the G7. Check everything he says. It's all performance and wrong.

Morning. Spring’s broken, -10, then 17, now rain. No plan, just chaos. Quiet train, finally. The world’s still loud, same noise, new headlines. Weekend sprint. Simulacrum getting close. Funny how fractured reality doesn’t feel like fiction anymore. Coffee. Focus. Build anyway. ☕️📖

Here’s the letter I sent if you want a starting point:

To the Speaker of the House of Commons and Officers of Parliament,
I am writing as a Canadian citizen to formally express concern regarding the recent conduct of Members of Parliament who brought and displayed religious texts in the House of Commons chamber as part of a political statement.
The House of Commons belongs to all Canadians, regardless of religion or belief. It is governed by the Constitution, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the rules and traditions of Parliament, not by any religious doctrine. Canada is a secular democracy, and this principle is foundational to the rights and freedoms of all Canadians, including freedom of religion and freedom from religion.
It is my understanding that the use of props in the House of Commons is prohibited because such displays are considered attempts to make visual political statements rather than participate in debate through proper parliamentary procedure. These rules exist to maintain decorum, neutrality, and respect for the institution.
Displaying a religious text in the Chamber as a political prop undermines these principles. It sends a message that religious authority is being placed in opposition to Canadian law and the Charter, and it risks eroding the clear and necessary separation between religion and government in Canada.
This behaviour is not becoming of a Member of Parliament and diminishes the dignity of the House.

I am therefore requesting the following:
A formal clarification from the Speaker on whether this action violated the rules regarding props and decorum in the House of Commons.
If a violation occurred, that appropriate disciplinary measures be taken in accordance with parliamentary rules and procedure.
That Members of Parliament be officially reminded that Parliament is a secular institution governed by law and the Constitution, and that religious displays used as political props are inappropriate in the Chamber.
That House leadership reaffirms its commitment to protecting Canadian democracy, its institutions, and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms from any form of religious or ideological encroachment.
This is not a matter of being for or against religion. Canadians are free to worship as they choose. However, Parliament must remain a place where laws are made based on democratic principles, evidence, and the Constitution, not religious symbolism or sectarian messaging.

Canadians expect Members of Parliament to conduct themselves with professionalism, respect for the rules, and respect for the institution they serve. I am asking for your office to ensure that this standard is upheld.
As this concerns the conduct of elected officials in the House of Commons, I believe this matter is in the public interest and deserves formal clarification.
This concern is being shared with Members of Parliament from multiple parties because the rules and integrity of the House of Commons are not partisan matters; they are matters of democratic governance.
I look forward to your response and to any actions taken to address this matter.
Sincerely,

Jason G. Butterfield@jasonbu· Mar 13

Morning. Brilliant sunrise. Winter’s back, the birds are confused. Russia grinding its war in Ukraine. The U.S. is grinding one in Iran, not even in Project 2025. No exit ramp. AB burns more LGBTQ+ books while Canada builds the Arctic. Maybe it’s time the world stepped back and chose humanity. ☕️

Brilliant winter sunrise with deep orange and red light spreading across the horizon behind dark silhouettes of bare trees and evergreens. Frosty grass and small patches of snow cover the quiet field in the foreground under a fading blue dawn sky.

Morning. One weekend in the woods and the Middle East ignites. “Board of peace” isn’t calming anything. Escalation isn’t strategy; diplomacy is. And hey PP, opposition leaders don’t run foreign policy. The elected government does. We chose who sits at the table. Book drops soon. Coffee’s hot. 🇨🇦☕️

As a debut author I'm pretty excited that someone, one person, is actively reading my latest novel. It's a great read given what's happening between the U.S. and Canada. Please check it out - Pejorative: Echoes of a Nation. #BookSky

“They should be grateful to us, Canada, but they’re not. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that Mark, the next time you make your statements.” PM Carney is doing the adult work, aligning with allies so the world isn’t held hostage by U.S. political chaos brought on by this guy.

Snowy and cold all weekend. Yes, Victoria’s mild, no, that’s not most of Canada. I made a map for the “experts.” This country is vast, winters are brutal, and we like it. Ski/Skate/Dog sled are travel options. If you’re eyeing invasion plans from a warm couch… try surviving February first. ☕️❄️

Map of Canada shaded by temperature zones, showing most of the country in cold or very cold winter ranges, with only small coastal areas, such as southern British Columbia, marked as milder. Emphasizes Canada’s vast size and predominantly cold climate, countering the idea that it is uniformly temperate.

I write sci-fi and near-future fiction. My debut novel, about Canada, power, and memory. How democracies fracture. How truth gets managed. How resistance survives in fragments. Pejorative: Echoes of a Nation is a recovered archive, testimony, propaganda, redactions, not a hero story.

Stylized image of the book Pejorative: Echoes of a Nation by Jason G. Butterfield, shown as a classified document over a faded U.S. flag. Handwritten notes point to phrases like “unusual narrative,” “recovered archives,” and “be part of the resistance.” Text reads: “If you’re reading it… They didn’t win.”

Graphic with torn-paper design over a faded flag background. Text reads: “They didn’t invade us with tanks. They erased us with broadcasts, maps, and silence.” Describes Pejorative: Echoes of a Nation as an alt-history of Canada’s annexation told through smuggled testimonies and scorched files. Author name Jason G. Butterfield appears at the bottom.

Christmas Eve tradition. A Port as old as my eldest, aged better than us. Wishing everyone peace and joy this season. Joyeux Noël.

A decanter of deep red vintage port covered with cheesecloth sits on a kitchen counter beside a 1997 bottle of Quinta da Eira Velha Vintage Port, a corkscrew, and a small tasting glass filled with port, prepared for Christmas Eve.

Morning, rough sleep, Garmin is telling me to rest… sure. I’m up writing anyway. -22 and still as a held breath out there, even caught ice pillars over town, the sky’s way of saying “endure.” Coffee’s on, pages are moving, and my latest book’s free on Smashwords. ☕️📖

A nighttime winter scene shows a snow-covered field bordered by a dark metal fence. Beyond the fence, faint vertical ice pillars rise into the sky behind a line of leafless trees, glowing softly from distant town lights. A small structure sits to the right, and long shadows stretch across the snow in the foreground.
