An irritated Canadian woman has called out an Indian man for washing his clothes in a river and polluting it with laundry detergent.
The local woman filmed herself in Coquitlam, British Columbia, telling the man to stop because it was a protected area with salmon living in the water.
The clip then went viral on X after being shared with the caption: “Our pristine rivers will soon look like the Ganges thanks to Indian mass immigration.”

The video shows the Indian man sitting barefoot on a pile of branches on the riverbank as the local asks him to stop what he is doing.
“No, we don’t put soap in the river – there’s salmon and all sorts of fish, this is a protected area, please no soap or detergent in the river,” she tells him.
“That soap is poisoning the fish,” someone else yells.
“We don’t do that here,” the woman continues, and another female voice can be heard saying “we’re calling the police”.
The man then shouts something back, washes his hands in the river and gets up to leave.
The video sparked anger on social media, with many X users in despair about the negative effects of third world mass immigration on the environment.
“How long till BC Rivers look like those in India? Serious question. You can kiss the salmon runs goodbye if this continues,” wrote one man.
“How mentally vacant can you be to come to a first world country and not use the laundry machine in the house that the government gave you for free? These people are experiencing the most improbable mercy in the history of civilisation every day they remain safe in our world,” wrote another.
“Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will wash their stinking rags in your rivers and kill the salmon,” said another, referring to a famous passage from novel The Camp Of The Saints about migrants burning a beautiful oak door for warmth.
