His questions have not only raised eyebrows but also provided a glimpse into the complexities of modern immigration patterns and the political discourse surrounding them
Adin Ross, a popular video game streamer, recently moved to Toronto and was quick to notice the city’s diverse population, particularly the large number of Indian residents. His observation led him to express confusion on social media, asking why “so many Indians” live in Canada.
In a video shared with his millions of followers across platforms like Kick, Twitch, YouTube, and Instagram, Ross repeatedly asked, “Can somebody please explain why?” He seemed taken aback by the noticeable presence of Indian immigrants in the city, prompting his followers to provide their own theories. His comments, delivered with a sense of bewilderment, sparked a wave of responses, many of which tied the discussion back to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
As Ross continues to engage his vast online audience, his musings about Toronto’s multiculturalism have only amplified the conversation about immigration and diversity in Canada
Ross’ question garnered mixed reactions, with some viewers echoing his curiosity. One person commented, “We ask the same question every day,” while another hinted at political motivations, stating, “Trudeau has to get his votes somehow.” This reference to Trudeau’s liberal immigration policies fueled further debate about Canada’s openness to immigrants from India and elsewhere.
Ross’ involvement in viral moments is nothing new. Just last month, he interviewed former U.S. President Donald Trump, who made headlines with a provocative statement about Justin Trudeau. Trump suggested that Trudeau might be the son of former Cuban leader Fidel Castro, a claim that, although unfounded, gained traction in the media.
