i am finishing up a legal document that is going to change the law around evictions in ontario and make it far easier for tenants to fight off aggressive landlords that buy their property trying to throw them out. i'm going to win this case. i'm right.

i'd actually like to make it against the law - as in you go to jail - to buy a property with the intent to evict a tenant. you've got mens rea. you've got actus reus. you can criminalize this if you have the political will.

right now, i can throw out a shitty definition and open a path for defense. others will have to follow the path to beat down the weeds and turn it into a route.
