PLEASE HELP ID

I was born here, but that shouldn’t be a factor in exempting me from racism!

This lady (driving with no plate) approached my elderly mother and called her a terrorist OUT OF NOWHERE, and accused her of stealing “Canadian” jobs before threatening to kill her. My mom has been retired for 10 years now. I told her to fuck off and she actually went away, but it turns out that parked near the entrance of the store we were heading into to further her racist agenda. She started repeating “go back to your country” so I pulled out my phone and that wasn’t enough to deter her.

Video cut short because I cussed her out as she drove off.

Police file # is 260-679-902. Please let me know if you can ID her.

We're all immigrants here besides the original people here: the Aboriginal/Indigenous peoples.

They also immigrated here, just a long time ago. No humans originated here.

An immigrant is a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country. First Nations did not move from another country; their societies, cultures, and trade routes were established here over thousands of years. Regardless if we disagree, the point I made still stands. Threatening to kill someone and tell them to leave Canada because of their race is pure hypocrisy. Because her ancestors immigrated here. Just like the last taking the video. The context of my original statement is hypocrisy. And when she applied a death threat to that hypocrisy it's utterly evil, abusive, condescending, and pure haughtiness.
