OTTAWA: A video showing four people bathing with soap in a Canadian lake has triggered widespread criticism online. The viral video, originally shared by Kirk Lubimov on social media, has garnered over five million views on X alone.
The video's caption said that foreigners were treating Canada's beaches and lakes like public baths, and that Canada's reputation is being damaged. Social media users echoed the sentiment, urging authorities to ban such practices in public water bodies and to raise awareness about their impact.
Meanwhile, many suspect that the people shown in the video are Indians, though there is no confirmation of this. Experts warn that bathing in water bodies with soap can pollute them and harm aquatic life.
Canada's beaches are turning to baths for foreigners.
