Conservatives will always choose ideology over vulnerable bodies. #cdnpoli #abpoli

Here's our last post on Substack -- why we are leaving, a round-up of the work we have put out over the past two years, and why despite everything we are hopeful about the future (plus a big ol' discount for ghost!): strongwilled.substack.com/p/strongwill...

Conservatives Christians care more about aligning with empire than they do aligning with the teachings of Jesus. And that's a fact.

I get why, but white progressives inability to name white supremacy as white supremacy, using however many euphemisms like 'cowboy fantasy', 'old stock Canadian', etc., helps nobody. #cdnpoli #abpoli

Attended the Calgary Long COVID gathering today. We could reduce COVID related illnesses, which are many, with simple policy measures included widespread vaccine adoption and clean indoor air with filtration.

I had a brief moment of pride following the much lauded Davos speech delivered by PM Carney. He named the fall of American hegemony while elevating Canadian sovereignty. But that moment quickly dissipated by reality: hegemons exist at home. My latest: rohadi.substack.com/p/analysis-o...

The cost of my reporting stared me in the face last week, when two Nazis showed up to try to intimidate me for my journalism on a private night out. But that’s far from the only fallout of my latest investigation. I took a few days, watching the reaction -- and now I’ve got much more to share:

Took three weeks to wrap this one, strap in: On Hegemons and the Collapse of the American Empire. Unpacking the Mark Carney WEF speech in Davos. Now available on my Substack. rohadi.substack.com/p/analysis-o... #cdnpoli #canada

In other news, I will name this as a published author, agent, and publisher (I dabble): @calgarylibrary.bsky.social creating an AI residency is deplorable. A slap in the face to authors. Same week as the UCP book ban expansion. You can't oppose book bans AND embrace AI SLOP in the same breath.

Here is the last part of my purity culture series (and hopefully one of the last posts we publish on Substack before we transfer to ghost). strongwilled.substack.com/p/how-predat...

Two white nationalists I exposed in a recent article showed up to try to intimidate me in person last night. This is a press freedom issue. Here’s what happened:

I willl have more on this but, in short, this is very good news for substantive equality and human rights for all human beings in Canada! And very bad news for Danielle’s xenophobic referendum questions. They are most certainly unconstitutional now www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

Maybe one of the last weekend's with ample snow for XC ski so head on out there (within the city). Shaganappi recently groomed and conditions are enjoyable (soft for bikes and skis mind you). #yyc

We don't need Albertans posting how awesome immigrants are. That's performative. We need Albertans calling out their racist family for supporting racist policy. #yyc #yeg #alberta #cdnpoli #abpoli

I noted the shift early this week, and then we found out why. My analysis of the UCP's adoption of racist and xenophobic tactics in a last ditched bid for power preservation. rohadi.substack.com/p/albertas-u... #cdnpoli #abpoli #alberta

The UCP have made a shocking announcement: a referendum in October. 9 questions targeting...separatism? No...immigrants. A racist distraction from the billions of dollars handed to friends of Danielle. Conservative scapegoating of immigrants meant to rile up a racist base. Odious. #abpoli #cdnpoli

The UCP are now shifting their strategy adopting the Republican dog whistles targeting Black and brown immigrants. This is unequivocally white supremacist rhetoric designed to sow fear in their base by appealing to prejudiced worldviews in order to shore up votes. I might work in 'Berta. #abpoli

Gung hay fat choy! The year of the Horse!

I'm acutely aware of snow cover in #Calgary since I groom for skiing. We haven't had a significant dump of snow since Nov. Last dump of 10 CM was just after Xmas. Jan. almost went bare. Feb might have snow, but forecasts keep dwindling. But climate change isn't real cause it's 'Berta baby. #yyc

Trans lives matter. Trans folks are deserving of our attention and support in the wake of Tumbler Ridge. Conservative losers have stopped low with coordinated messaging degrading trans lives and stoking violence. More disgusting behavior that's becoming too common and acceptable. #cdnpoli #bcpoli

Conservatives ruin everything they touch. #yyc #cdnpoli #abpoli Calgary may lose monumental funding for housing that we cannot afford to lose, all to appease right-wing policies and NIMBYS. The impact will be generational.

End of an Era. I'm changing my focus after however many decades. rohadi.substack.com/p/an-update-...

Did Trump said China will ban hockey in #Canada??! 😆 You know what this might do? It might be the "one thing" that flips maple-MAGAs into a realization their hero is a lying rapist felon. You don't just say stupid things about hockey here.... #cdnpoli

As U of A pulls the plug on DEI policies, remember kids, Diversity Equity Inclusion only exists because merit based hiring practices DO NOT EXIST. Reverting to the 'norm' is reversion to white mediocrity. #ableg #abpoli #yeg #cdnpoli

Today's sermon: THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST... The rest is just details. Go in peace.

What's the over under that the first major cities that run out of water in Canada will be in Southern Alberta? Record breaking heat and drought conditions already here....And it's Feb 2. #yyc #cdnpoli #canada

Conservative Christianity is designed to control children not protect them.

Has the Alberta Labour Federation imploded yet? What's the latest there? #abpoli #yyc #yeg

Two pictures, 12 ish hours apart, you be the judge. #cdnpoli #abpoli

The wheels have come off folks. Public executions to frighten the populace.

Historic weather patterns are now the norm because of climate change. In Alberta, American petro-state over a century has made the avg Albertan an O&G apologist and climate change denialist. Calgary almost went the entire Jan '26 without a flake of snow. Record breaking warm temps instead. #yyc

You have to practice hope.

TONS of folks in line at the car wash, cause unlike the degenerates from the past 2 weeks, we waited until restrictions were lifted like a good citizen. #yyc

More conservative UCP corruption. Not that conservatives care whatsoever. #abpoli #cdnpoli

I am accepting queries this month! Seeking creative non-fiction. Emphasis on #canlit, faith, spirituality, self-help, justice. If you pitch here I'll leave a comment and ask for details for the ones that fit! #writingcommunity #querytrenches #amquerying #booksky

The lineups around the block for car washes in #calgary today. Reprehensible behaviour. Shame! #yyc

There's an idea that Christian Nationalism is fueling separatism and the far-right. It's not IMO. CN is merely one propaganda tool conservative/Americans use to control thought and belief. The real foundation is money (capitalism) and white supremacy (power). #abpol #cdnpoli

Artists show up when monumental calamity, the one we're in, overwhelms us. Artists are truth-tellers who will guide us through the chaos. Writers in creative non-fiction, as an agent I wanna hear your pitch. Post it below (or DM me if you think someone will *steal* your idea) and I will reach out.

A deleted tweet by a Toronto Sun national politics reporter.

Bring back shame. Emergency water restrictions in #Calgary yet the car washes have lineups around the building. Terrible. #yyc

As CPC members gather to affirm their odious policies, here's a reminder that DEI policies emerged BECAUSE merit based hiring practices did NOT exist. They are not opposite each another, one is the result from the other. #cdnpoli

A word about empire. We can be the people empire fears.... rohadi.substack.com/p/epiphany-a...

The only media outlet with regular reporting on the massive AHS coverup is the Globe. The scandal is monumental. The US controlled local news outlets both lack funding and seem to hold bias on covering important stories. #abpoli #cdnpoli #yyc

How are you going to show up in 2026? I have some ideas. Happy Old Year's Night! open.substack.com/pub/rohadi/p...
