I’m not a Patriot

Why don’t Canadians call ourselves patriots? Because our pride sounds different. Born from Loyalists, peacekeepers, and quiet builders, Canada’s strength has never been in shouting, it’s in showing up. From Confederation to Canada 150, our patriotism has stayed humble, civic, and collective. In an age of loud nationalism, that restraint isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom.

Chronicle #011: Post-Launch Signal Drift

It’s been a month since Pejorative left my desk and entered the noise. The algorithms have already decided who should see it and who should not. Every click feels like a vote of confidence, or a funeral rite.

Dispatch #009: Guardrails

The road wound higher than I remembered, climbing through high hills with just enough guardrail to suggest safety. On one side, forested hills stretched into layers of green and shadow. On the other, a drop, sharp and unforgiving, reminded me of gravity’s patience. Above it all, a clear sky stretched like a promise.

Transmission #007: Red Marks & Heatwaves

Proof copy in hand. Red pen out. Beta readers circling. This book’s a risky one, fractured timelines, testimonies, and media scraps stitched into a story I hope makes sense outside my skull.

Dispatch #006: Chapter One, Take Two

Hit a wall, and tore it down. After finalizing layout and hitting the halfway point in edits for Pejorative, I circled back to Chapter One and knew it had to go.

Dispatch #003: Smoke, Slogans, and the Signal Beneath

Memoir Fragment #002: Fall-in-May, Discipline-in-Chaos

May dressed up as November. Damp chill, grey skies, and the scent of fall. I stayed knee-deep in Chapter 20 edits while coffee pulled double duty, fuel and hand warmer. The world spun loud, but I stayed quiet. Some weeks, discipline isn’t loud. It’s just the act of showing up. One page. One fix. One sentence straighter than the last.

Chronicle #001: Fog Over the Week – Dispatches from the Threshold

Somewhere in the blur between code and fiction, I launched something small but personal: a direct storefront for my books. No noise, no gatekeepers, just my work, finally on my terms.

Fractured Futures - Alberta Conundrum

What happens when provincial frustration turns into separatist ambition? In this piece, I explore three stark what-if scenarios for Alberta’s future, each rooted in real grievances, legal limits, and the fragile fabric of Canadian unity. From constitutional brinkmanship to foreign interference, these aren’t predictions, they’re warnings. And they all point to the same truth: Canada holds together only if we choose dialogue over division, clarity over chaos.
