Your Signature Requested

One of the articles I featured in Saturday's Link Tank has raised the hackles of quite a few bloggers. It's the story of 88 year old Philipina Schergevitch (pictured below), who is being evicted from her home of 10 years following a new no-smoking edict in Calgary, Alberta.


Bloggers The Devil's in the Detail and Gasdoc set the ball rolling by highlighting a letter drawn up by Smokescreens author, Rich White.

The letter will be sent this week to Bishop O'Byrne Housing for Seniors Association who are threatening to throw this lady out of her accommodation. If you'd like to express your distaste for such an astoundingly heartless move, e-mail Rich at richwhite (at) smokescreens.org and he will add you to the list of signatories.

This may be in North America, home of the most brainless of anti-smoking lunacy, but it's time the more egregious psychos were called out on their actions which - yet again - are nothing whatsoever to do with health.
