In the video, an elderly woman is seen striding away, declaring, "You're not Canadian."
When the man filming asks, "Ma'am, why were you aggressive towards me?" she approaches him, firmly stating, "I'm being aggressive because there are too many Indians in Canada, and I want you to go back."
She dismisses his insistence that he is Canadian, retorting, "Your parents aren't Canadian. Your grandma isn't Canadian."
Perplexed, the man replies, "I am just trying to understand, what wrong did I do to you personally?"
As he begins to speak in French, she abruptly cuts him off with a harsh "F**k off" before walking away.
