In the video, it appears that a truck hits the person shooting the video. A confrontation then develops between a man and the driver.

“You don’t talk like a Canadian,” the driver says to the man, while mimicking the man’s accent. “I’m racist as f—. I don’t like you. I don’t like her. I would kill your children first,” the driver says.
