This is surveillance footage of two individuals entering a downtown Ottawa apartment building, near the center of the convoy, barring the doors and attempting to start a fire.
If you can identify either of the men, and don't feel comfortable contacting the police, please DM me.

If anyone doubted the threat this protest posed to residents of downtown #Ottawa — this incident shows the kind of danger the community has been living through. The Ottawa Police need to strictly enforce the law and end this occupation.
