You do realize (as I mentioned before) that not landlords are 'rich'. Many are middle class people, who may have renovated part of their house to rent to people for extra cash, or bought a house to renovate and rent out. And even the larger landlords are often owned by shareholders (who are often middle-class people who hold stock in real estate in their retirement portfolios.)
MH thinks that anyone outside the GTA who don’t have to spend 60% of their income on housing are rich. If he had a bit more equity built up, I am guessing he wouldn’t be in favour of the government taking everyone’s property away.
