In Ontario the legal distinction is when the setup is such that the landlord shares a kitchen and front entrance with the tenant, the tenant is classified as a boarder. I rent out rooms in my house so I host boarders, not tenants so I'm very aware of the laws.

I was thinking that the situation would be similar in most, if not all, provinces, i.e. you can discriminate in terms of who you let into your own home. What made the reported case a bit weird is how the discrimination was applied after the tenant had move in, rather than at the selection stage.
