The man, identified as Harsh, posted the clip on Instagram, using it to contrast the common perception that Western countries maintain perfect infrastructure with the reality he witnessed during winter.

In the footage, Harsh records a street covered in thick, melting slush as vehicles attempt to move cautiously through the slippery surface. He can be heard speaking in Hindi, and the translated audio reads, “People often say that in India the roads become terrible whenever it rains, but look at Canada, the same thing happens here too. Whenever it snows, this is the situation everywhere. This is the reality. India is the best.”
