If the City of Gatineau insists that it is not putting pressure so that the demonstrators associated with the Farfadaas movement who have been installed at Place des Festivals for 12 days are evicted from the premises, the company that rents the parking lot, which also owns buildings in housing and office space in the area, seems to be in an anything but comfortable position on this issue.
