I recall the police responding to the protests in Portland and working hard to shut them down as a result. The Ottawa police have declined to take action.

Portland had rioting for over 90 consecutive nights with firebombing of federal buildings.

If the police were responding in Portland they weren't trying very hard. With no firebombing in Ottawa, the response seems proportionate.
