Arson claim being made about Notre-Dame

CTV says that a video claiming that “Islamists” have burned down Montreal’s Notre‑Dame has been circulating on social media. Footage shown of a burning church is actually of a disused building in Trois‑Rivières that had a fire last year.

There was a fire at our Notre-Dame, not mentioned in the article – but it happened in 1978 in the Sacré‑Cœur chapel behind the main altar. I’ve been looking up the details on that, but although it was determined to be arson, no suspect’s name is turning up.
