Twitter user @AerithTOR claimed responsibility for the attack on the social networking site.
The police said it was a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack.
However, both these websites were running perfectly fine so far.
The Ottawa Police Service and Supreme Court of Canada websites went down.
@AerithTOR claimed this was his former account and said it had been suspended.
Toronto police were unavailable for further comment.
