Jason Matthew Ethier, better known as JayStation (born 14 February 1990 in Ottawa, Ontario) is a Canadian vlogger and YouTuber who garnered controversy for his fake prank videos on the video-sharing website YouTube. Beginning in 2015, he deleted his YouTube account after it became demonetized after his arrest on five accounts of trespassing by Ottawa police. That same month, Ethier then restarted on YouTube under the channel name ImJayStation, re-uploading all of his content except the ones relating to his trespassing.

In 2020, he was criticized for a video in which he faked the death of his girlfriend Alexia Marano to increase views on the platform. He was later arrested for assault and assault with a weapon, and is due to appear in Toronto's Old City Hall on 16 March 2020. Following this controversy, Ethier took a brief hiatus from making videos.

Roughly a week after Jason announced his hiatus, YouTube officially suspended monetization on Jason's main channel; the reason for this, however, was not due to Jason's past actions or faking the death of his girlfriend, this was due to his arrest on February 3rd on charges of assault and assault with a weapon.

On March 12, 2021, both of his channels were terminated for violating YouTube's terms of service from his "bringing back girlfriend" video.
