🎅🏼 Peace, warmth, and good coffee ☕️ - Merry Christmas 🎄

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

Watched the 60 Minutes CECOT piece. Chilling. Not all detainees were criminals. Trump knew about human-rights abuses, went ahead. Influencers got access, elected officials, blocked. Noem’s photo-op, staged to link migrants with gangs. This wasn’t security. It was propaganda and cruelty normalized.

Morning. Knee’s shot after training. Coffee’s on. Racism is being openly platformed by people in power. This isn’t fringe anymore. It’s normalization. It’s extremism. I’m white. I see it. I’m not staying quiet. This isn’t normal. It’s wrong.

Coffee in hand, watching the world speedrun bad decisions. War talk. Rant. AI patriot cosplay. A state-sanctioned hunt on the trans community. Atwood warned us. Then silence. 👀 When impulse replaces process, there are no adults left in the room. ☕️ My book is still fiction. For now. Link in bio.

Morning all. Feeling oddly refreshed. World’s still a mess, but the Turnip didn’t start another war last night. Low bar. I skipped the rambling meltdown and watched our World Juniors warm up instead. I’ll call that a win. My book stays fiction. Coffee helps. ☕📖 Link in bio.

Good grief. Out of a meeting. Is it just me, or do Millennials and Gen Z all end sentences like they’ve just run out of oxygen…? I don’t know if it’s a vocal trend, podcast damage, or my misophonia waving a tiny red flag but friends… inhale. Finish the thought. Breathe. Damn. I need a coffee.

Morning. Freezer died, both pups to the vet. Holiday budget gone. Turnip’s blathering tonight. Same noise, same test. He’s exhausting. Worse is how fast people normalize it. If it doesn’t bother you? Ask why. Coffee’s cold. Principles don’t get that luxury. My book wrestles with this. Link in bio.

World’s noisy again, violence rising, and Turnip can’t de-escalate to save a soul. Religion shouldn’t block doing the right thing, choose the human first. My coffee’s cold, like too many hearts lately. Step up, open your eyes, see each other, and act like humans again. I see you. ☕️📖

People are overthinking this or not thinking properly. Ahmed al Ahmed did the right thing, instinctively and without hesitation. He ran toward danger to save people, regardless of who they were or what they believed. Religion didn’t factor into that moment. Humanity did. So did a hero.

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. ☕️📖

Slept in again and missed the 5am writers club, but the milestones are still falling. Cracked open an old manuscript and the muse actually showed up. Fireball down south spins, our own nonsense brews here. Got spell-checked too, sure, call it a malapropism. Coffee helps. ☕️📖

Snow’s pounding down. Stoic reminder: you can’t bend the world, only your response. Universities hide behind flaccid “free speech” while students face political predators. And now the U.S. puts it in writing, they see us as theirs to manage. Pejorative stays fiction… for now. ☕️📖 Link in bio.

Good cold morning, snow rolling in, and the new U.S. NSS isn’t just gloomy, it’s a threat to our sovereignty. Our minerals, water, energy, North aren’t theirs to spreadsheet. Hard NO. Coffee, writing, and reviving a 15-year-old WIP. ☕️📖 Link in bio.

The 2025 U.S. NSS doesn’t call Canada a “vassal state,” but it does revive a Trump-style Monroe Doctrine and declares the U.S. must dominate the hemisphere. That matters for Canadian sovereignty. Ottawa’s 2025 budget already flags this global shift as a “rupture.” 🧵

Morning. Cold snap’s here, more grounded than the U.S. dropping a “Security & Ego Strategy” so arrogant it needs a warning label. Telling Canada to “behave” and cut trade? We’re not vassals. It’s a sign the U.S. is becoming a global threat. Coffee’s on. Link in bio. ☕️📖

Temps swinging –21 to a balmy zero, and now FIFA thinks it hands out “peace prizes”, giving the first one to Trump. So, straight to parody. Add drones swarming an Irish airport before Zelenskyy lands (no news?) and, yeah… I need a coffee strong enough to reboot the universe. ☕️📖 Book link in bio.

Light snow feels calmer than the headlines. Alberta’s UPC is eating itself, U.S. is… the U.S., and I genuinely worry for FIFA and Olympic athletes/families heading there. I outlined 10 chapters this weekend, this morning? I need industrial-strength coffee. ☕️📖 My recent book?Hits hard. Link in bio.

Good morning! Coffee’s on, the words are finally behaving, and I’m cracking open a dusty 2017 manuscript while Simulacrum sits with the beta readers. Yeah, I’m double-fisting projects, time to resurrect this one. And Pejorative? Still the most relevant read this year. ☕️📖 Link in bio. #booksky

Morning folks. Snow’s coming down like a timeline cleanse, quiet, clean, briefly sane. Coffee’s hot, edits are calling, and someone out there is reading Pejorative, so my day’s already better. And folks: if you hear “remigration,” that’s a racist dog whistle. Full stop (the DHS used it BTW). ☕️📖

Tell me you’re an indie author without telling me… Who else walks through the bookstore hitting all the kiosks and leaving their own title pulled up? 🥸

The U.S. ambASSador says Canadians should “stay out of U.S. business,” then Rubio tells American diplomats to lean on Canada and allies to restrict immigration and report if we don’t comply. Please tell Rubio to shove it, stay out of our business and take your ambASSador back, we don’t need him.

Snow’s piling up, streets are quiet, and even the train tapped out. Coffee’s strong, edits for Simulacrum lined up, and the circus south of us can keep spinning on its own. Focus on what you can shape. ☕️📖 Curl up with my book - link in bio.

Was downtown yesterday. Cold front hit like a cliff dive. Ten to 0 in hours and now snow’s loading up. I’m back in the basement lab with coffee and the dog, riding it out like a side-quest. Weather chaos still beats the political kind. ☕️❄️ Oh, and you very much should by my book. Link in the bio.

Another 12-hour haul in the books, son dropped off, Xmas packages sent off to Stn Forces with that sketchy address format we all pretend to understand. Now it’s me, a train, and an hour to breathe. Coffee says settle. Fiction whispers: keep going. ☕️📖 Oh, buy my book 📕 link in the bio.

X is crawling with “American” accounts broadcasting from everywhere but America. Funny how MAGA has no outrage for foreign outrage farms, they’re too busy retweeting them. I warned about this in my book Pejorative: influence doesn’t invade… it seeps. ☕️📖 Check the link in my bio. #coffee #morning

Who else needs to focus? Drifted from editing Simulacrum into tinkering with cover designs, classic writer brain doing parkour before coffee even kicks in. Stoic me says “return to the work.” Pejorative is out loud and relevant. If you haven’t grabbed it yet, links in my bio. ☕📖 #booksky

Morning. Strong brew, weak takes. If Grok can’t remember PM Carney, maybe don’t trust JFK on pandemics. You can’t “wellness” your way through a virus. Stoic truth: readiness beats fantasy. ☕ Read my book 📚, it'll help. Link in Bio.

My coffee’s bitter, but Alberta’s WTF. You’ve got a Recall Act, USE IT. This month of all months, when Trans folks need solidarity not stunts, This is not Canada. I can only lend support from here and keep writing the warnings. Some days, fiction feels saner than the news. Alberta? ☕️📖🏳️‍⚧️

Budget’s through and everyone can breathe again. Last night felt like playoff overtime, minus the beer ads. Now we get to see whether politicians act like adults or toddlers with talking points. I’m diving back into Simulacrum today. Grab Pejorative for the holidays. Link in bio.☕️📖

Budget vote day. Are we carrying on or heading for a holiday redo? Alberta’s leaders are off in la-la land and now Québec’s political class wants to reboot the separatist saga. Really? Let me have my coffee. I’ll hold the door. Vote these people out, they are out of touch.

FFS Really, Manitoba? Booing the one person keeping the wheels on during a global mess? Didn’t have you pegged for Maple-MAGA auditions, but here we are.

Good morning all. Cold’s back, snow on the way, and I’m up early with coffee and the Alberta insurgency paper I just wrapped. Editing the WIP while the house sleeps, this one’s getting sharp. If you need something to read while you wait for Simulacrum, grab my current novel. Links in my Bio. ☕📖

Alberta’s sovereignty movement has shifted from slogans to legislation. The risks to Canada’s democratic stability are real. I break down the strategy, influence networks, and insurrectionary tactics behind the Free Alberta Strategy and APP’s plan. Read it here: jasonbutterfield.ca/the-alberta-...

Stepped in it yesterday. Happens. Now I’m shovelling popcorn while the U.S. does its usual self-immolation. Waiting for the sparks to reach north. At least my book is finally everywhere, perfect timing for holiday escapism. Link in Bio.☕📚

Short week after Remembrance Day and a few speaking gigs. Caught a sunrise that reminded me to meet the day with some light. Hope yours breaks through too. Pejorative is now in wide distribution, perfect timing for the holidays. Link in bio. Just look at that sunrise!

What a couple of days, first time I’ve read 400 pages of a budget like it was a thriller (still reading). Coffee’s on, tires swapped, weekend lesson plans ready, Simulacrum moving forward. But don’t sleep on Pejorative, it’s how US–Canada tension really unravels. ☕📖 Link in bio. Buy my book. ;-)

ohhhhh. Excited, I have some bookmarks coming in to hand out with my books. Thoughts? Do others have bookmarks they hand out? What do they look like?

My wife makes the best cabbage borscht this side of Ukraine Perfect lunch for a fall day while we all wait for the budget.

Up before 5, thanks to the time change. Coffee at jet-fuel levels. Editing Simulacrum like a sleep-deprived beast while Canada braces for the budget drop. Who else is still adjusting? ☕📖

Hey, all just doing a pulse check. Had zero interactions in the last week. Trying to gage engagement and see if I'm hitting it. Looking to hook up with more Canadians too. We have a lot to watch and discuss. Give me a "Hi" if you are seeing my posts. 👋

Ok, I’m up. F’n daylight savings, another illusion of control we pretend to manage. Big week: votes in the U.S., budgets in Canada. Stoic rule: focus on what you can fix, endure what you can’t. I’m editing the next WIP. ARC & Betas wanted. While you wait, buy my book. ☕📖

I watched this... inspiring. Could you all do us a favour (I'm a Canadian asking for a U.S. friend). Is there a chance where you all could nudge the timeline to where President Obama is a thing again? www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAMc...

Ok, who else woke up (literally, cause I'm already woke). Looked at my watch, saw it's an hour off the clock. Logged on, checked Alberta and the U.S. Yup, both still running on 1930s time.

Who watched? The Blue Jays lost 😞. Clocks fell back, just like what’s happening in the U.S. Except ours was only an hour, not all the way to the ’30s. Stoic rule: stay steady while everyone else resets their clocks. What’s your ritual before winter hits? ☕📖 #StoicWriter #IndieBooks

The U.S. ambASSador tried to “uncle” us with a tirade, dropped F-bombs and diplomacy in the same breath. Might need anger management… or a ticket home. Anyway, focus is on Alberta. Buy my book, it shows what happens when we don’t speak up. It starts in Alberta. ☕📖 #DystopianReads #CoffeeAndBooks

Winners wrote history. Losers started training AIs to rewrite it. “Anti-woke” billionaires have bots building fake encyclopedias that argue with their own footnotes. I set my coffee down for my cognitive, sorry, IQ test, and lost it. Figures. ☕📖 Don’t forget to buy my book. #Author #MorningCoffee

I’m not a patriot. I served, I vote, I fly the flag proudly, but I’ve never once called myself a patriot. In Canada, we show pride differently. That’s not weakness. It’s our strength. 🇨🇦 New piece: “I’m Not a Patriot" 🔗 jasonbutterfield.ca/im-not-a-pat...
