On April 29, several dozen small landlords—a group that often refers to itself with the folksy, neighborly term “mom and pop” landlords—took to the streets of Mississauga, Ontario to protest for speedier eviction courts, claiming that Ontario’s laws and housing court were rigged against them.

They marched in the streets carrying a banner reading “save small landlords” and signs saying “my property my rights.” One sign read “Landlords deserve FAIR LAWS.” One sign simply read, “STOP ROBBING STOP STEALING STOP ABUSING.” Another hand-drawn sign showed a tenant—labeled “tenant (evil)”—whipping a small landlord pulling a building like a rickshaw cart. “Landlords are people too,” the sign said.
