Some dissension within the ranks of the Occupy Ottawa movement?

The Sun is reporting an altercation at the camp with a Marxist-Leninist group ended with a urine-soaked blanket draped over their tent.

Paul Boudreau, a media liaison for the group, called the incident unfortunate.

Boudreau admitted there was a larger police presence around the park in recent days, but says the protesters are comfortable with police, not considering them to be enemies.

There is a fear, however, that drug issues at Confederation Park could force police to act.
