Signs line the street outside of 94 Beck St. in Preston as residents take part in the protests happening across Ontario against property owner Micheal Klein. The rental advocacy organization ACORN has staged protests at numerous Klein buildings around Ontario as they call him the “most prolific renovictor in Ontario.” Multiple attempts to reach Klein have been unsuccessful. According to Acer Bonaparte who is the chair for the Waterloo region chapter of ACORN, Klein owns 21 other buildings across the province and adds this method of buying a building and kicking out the residents is common practice.

Seniors across Canada attended “rocking chair rallies,” marches, movie nights, town halls and other protests Monday to stress the importance of fighting climate change.
