India-hating US YouTuber goes to Canada to cover 'Indian invasion'; claims to have hired human smuggler to sneak him across border

American YouTuber Tyler Oliveira, who went to India to cover a cow dung festival (Gorehabba festival in local language) celebrated in a village on the occasion of Diwali, is obsessed with Indians as he now goes to Canada to cover the 'Indian invasion' of Brampton. But on his way back to the US, he says he got in touch with a human smuggler who promised him to sneak him across the US-Canada border.

In Canada, Oliveira asked people about Indians, Punjabis, demographic changes in Brampton and the replies were mixed. Many people said Indians are good and they 'don't eat poop' in Canada, probably because only the upper caste Indians are in Canada.

Some Canadians said they like Indians, and it's not only Indians, but people from all cultures are found in Brampton. Oliveira also asked people about fake degrees, Khalistanis, and enquired whether Indians would prefer to remain in Canada or return to Punjab.

Then Oliveira claimed that he contacted a 'human trafficker' (Sidhu New York user name) whom he found on Instagram and asked him to sneak him from Canada to the US.

The video then showed Oliveira's communication with the alleged Sidhu, who asked him to delete all WhatsApp messages. On their way to Montreal, Tyler was also asked to discard any sharp objects, such as a knife or nail cutter, so that he would not be detected at the US-Canada border. The plan, Tyler said, was to take him to a safe house. But at the end of the video, Tyler said he decided to escape the safe house after he discovered that the 'human trafficking' racket actually exists.

Social media users tagged the FBI and director Kash Patel and asked the administration to take action against the human trafficker who advertises on Instagram.

"The fact that they openly advertise smuggling on social media and nothing happens to them is absolute clownery. Our government is useless," one wrote.
