- Comevius 4y agoThis is hard to believe since there were conflicts between the protesters and the residents, who didn't feel safe. There was a heightened lack of security, a sense of lawlessness during this time. The Ottawa Police Service was unprepared and couldn't respond. It's questionable if someone would have lighted the fire under other circumstances, plus one of the resident Matias Muñoz said that another resident came into the hallway and asked the men what they were doing and they admitted to being part of the trucker protest. The police obviously had an interest in calling the event unaffiliated, obviously the arsonists themselves weren't interested in telling otherwise, although one of them later went back to put out the fire. The residents think that they only did it because they were dumb and looked dumb.
