How does social change occur?
One of the most interesting aspects of this action is the blogger comment backlash being directed against the political terrorist group. It shows a vehement attempt to quash this form of direct action resistance.
Another outcome is that this action shows how easy it is to physically resist. It shows that arson is a simple yet devastatingly effective form of direct action against powerful hierarchical structures.
The mainstream media is stating that the political terrorist group responsible for the fire is an anarchist group.
Let's see if the police state apparatus of Kanada will catch these brave daredevils? The police certainly are giving it their best attempt. If they fail, they will look very bad, with all those surveillance cameras and web trolling tactics and all...
Two societal responses are possible:
- more police
- addressing the underlying injustices and lack of democracy

Why are you calling these resistance fighters terrorists? They are pyrotechnicians.
Nobody was killed.
Did you get paid by the state to use the word "terrorism"?
