Halifax landlord pulls ad after complaint
NOVA SCOTIA / "It made me think of brutality towards trans women," says Mary Burnett

When you log onto the Killam Properties website, a robe-wearing landlord named Lou pops up on a levitating cushion and asks, "What's worrying you?"

"I am worried that you are transphobic," wrote Halifax resident Mary Burnett in the space that says, "Type your worry here," and clicked submit.

After seeing a poster on April 6 advertising the Nova Scotia residential landlord's student housing that read: "Worry about the size of her adam's apple, not where you'll live next year,"
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
