To the residents of Calgary low-income housing who are smokers — and to their family and friends — please share this post.

Y’all got the new no-smoking policy notice recently.
You were told that smoking anywhere on the property will lead to eviction if you’re caught.
No exceptions. No flexibility. No alternatives.

Well, I’d like to know:
How do you feel about accommodation being made to only one person… and not to everybody else?

Because what the property manager is saying to me in this email — specifically, to me — is completely different from what the official notices said and what’s written in the legal leases that everyone else was made to sign.

I kicked up a stink, so I got an accommodation.
And no — this email does not apply to all residents in Calgary Housing.
It’s directed only to me.

So I ask again:
How do you feel about one person being given accommodation… while everyone else is still being told eviction is on the table?

This was never just about me.
I fought because I knew what this policy would mean for so many others — for tenants who might not know they can speak up, who don’t have the tools, or who are just plain exhausted from fighting every damn day.

This email doesn’t change the lease.
It doesn’t undo the threat of eviction that’s still hanging over everyone else’s heads.
And it doesn’t fix the systemic rot at the core of all this.

So what now?
