A short video has gone viral on Canadian social media showing a man in Brampton using a regular lawn mower to remove snow from his driveway.The short clip shows the man pushing an electric or gas-powered agricultural mower back and forth over a thin layer of snow and ice on a residential driveway.
The mower blades spin but mostly scatter wet snow rather than remove it cleanly, and some shots show sparks or little progress.
Multiple cars and a townhouse-style house are visible in the background.
The post he helped spread came from journalist Chris Brunet, who wrote: “This video of a Brampton man clearing his driveway of snow with a lawnmower is going viral on Canadian social media.” It received hundreds of likes, reposts, and quotes within hours.
Other accounts like @RTNToronto shared a similar version, saying “Someone has already used a lawnmower to clean snow/ice in Brampton.”Some influencers and conservative accounts claimed that the man who appeared in the widely circulated video was an Indian immigrant. They also called on the Canadian government to allocate hundreds of thousands of such people to the country. However, there is no confirmed source claiming that the man cleaning ice and snow with a lawnmower is Indian.
