Forward Weekly is a weekly multimedia publication about Alberta politics and public life. It pairs reported features, essays and commentary with roundups, political cartoons, explainers, video and comedy — serious about the stakes without surrendering its sense of humour.
Its point of view is independent, skeptical of concentrated power and committed to making provincial politics legible and consequential. The voice is candid, sharp and occasionally irreverent: willing to name what is absurd, ask who benefits and give readers useful ways to understand—and act on—the week’s stories.

Haq runs the creative process from recurring story meetings and assignments through editorial notes, drafts and final production. That means working with writers, journalists, comedians, video makers and illustrators; producing reported articles, satirical news segments and parody websites, sketch comedy and political cartoons; packaging each issue; and engaging readers.
