A Waterloo, Ont., man is speaking out after his video of a woman ranting about the South Asian community went viral. In the video, she's heard saying, "Indians are taking over Canada" and "go back to India." In 2023, Waterloo region had the highest rate of police-reported hate crimes across the country, according to Statistics Canada. WRPS Chief Mark Crowell told CBC News there were 34 hate crimes reported per 100,000 people locally last year. As tension continues to rise between Canada and India, Mutta said, there is serious worry for elevated levels of hate.
