'This is not Mumbai, this is Canada', Canadian journalist shares videos of Indian protesters blocking traffic in Brampton
Native Canadians are raising concerns over the country's liberal immigration policies that have resulted in mass migration of people from non-Western nations, including India, which has led to unprecedented scenes on their streets.
The Hindu community in Canada is continuing its protest over the violent disruption of an Indian consular camp at the Hindu Sabha Temple in Brampton by pro-Khalistani groups. Over a thousand Canadian Hindus protested on the streets on Monday against the ongoing attacks on their places of worship.
This is Not India.

Canadian Hindus protest temple attack
"What is happening to Hindu Canadians is not right. The time has come for all politicians here to know that what is happening with Hindu Canadians is wrong...We want Canada to treat Hindus well...We want India and Canada relations to strengthen, we are against those who are against this," a protester was quoted as saying by ANI.
How native Canadians are reacting
While the protests continue, native Canadians are raising concerns over the country's liberal immigration policies that have resulted in mass migration of people from non-Western nations, including India, which has led to unprecedented scenes on their streets.
Videos of protest go viral
Harrison Faulkner, a Canadian journalist, shared several videos from the protest, showing the chaos on the streets.
"Wild scenes happening now where a crowd of Hindus have blocked traffic and started chanting down and intimidating local police officers," Faulkner captioned one of his videos.
