Whoever tagged over the piece crossed out "Blak Collectiv" and wrote "stay off."

Artists who are regular contributors to the wall, known as the Tech Wall, apparently took issue with the quality of the work and the fact that it covered up other pieces. Local artist Mike Gall told Metro Ottawa that he's "all for people protesting, but think of what you’re doing first."

“It’s our community that’s been painting here for so long, and we take offense to stuff like this, no matter what the cause,” he told Metro.
