Brampton : A recent viral photo on social media has sparked controversy in Canada, showing an elderly man allegedly defecating publicly in Brampton. The image, shared by journalist Harrison Faulkner on X (formerly Twitter), was captioned with a critical remark about mass immigration, leading to heated discussions online.
The photo depicts an elderly man in a compromising position near a car, seemingly defecating by the roadside. Faulkner’s caption, “Brampton man just couldn’t walk the extra 15 yards to the bathroom. Mass immigration is totally working,” implied a negative view of Canada’s immigration policies, specifically targeting the immigrant community.Raj Grewal
Raj Grewal, former MP for Brampton East, responded swiftly to the post, asserting that the image was manipulated. Grewal claimed ownership of the property shown in the picture and stated that no such incident occurred there. He firmly declared, “It’s photoshopped. Do better,” challenging the authenticity of the image and the motives behind its circulation.

The controversy has garnered mixed reactions online. Some users, observing the reflection in the car beside the man, questioned the legitimacy of Grewal’s claim, suggesting that if the image was indeed altered, it was done with high skill. Others supported Grewal, criticizing the photo’s dissemination as a means to incite hate against certain communities, particularly immigrants.
The incident has ignited a broader debate on immigration in Canada. The country has seen significant growth in its immigrant population, with Indians making up over 30% of the foreign-born population, according to the 2021 census. This demographic shift has led to mixed sentiments, with some Canadians viewing the increase as a threat.
In the wake of the controversy, some are calling for Grewal to release security footage to verify his claim.
