A video featuring an unsettling encounter between a woman and an Uber driver in Canada has surfaced on social media. Their conversation took a wild turn when the cab driver, who was reportedly of Pakistani descent can be heard declaring that he would have kidnapped the female passenger if they were in his native country, shocking her.
The male driver stated, “Well, if you were born in Pakistan and I’m from Pakistan, you would have been kidnapped by now,” to which the astounded female asked, “I would have been kidnapped by you,” and he responded with, “Of course, because there is no other option to get you, right?”
The woman then inquired, “But you have your women over there, though,” however, he reiterated, “Seriously, you are in Canada, so I cannot say anything to you, I cannot touch you, because it is Canada.”
Afterwards, she nervously laughed and noted, “Yeah definitely you can’t touch me. There are laws for such things here.” He then asserted, “You know what I mean,” and she expressed that it wasn’t flattering and he was scaring her. He once more announced, “There was no option (other than abducting her).” The two then wished each other good night and the awkward interaction ended in the 32-second clip.

Another X user called the interaction ” messed up” and remarked that she would immediately notify Uber and the police if that were to happen to her. She further added, “No one should be throwing around threats like that, joke or not.”
Whoa, that's seriously messed up. If that happened to me, I'd be reporting it to Uber and the cops ASAP. No one should be throwing around threats like that, joke or not.

A netizen highlighted an incomprehensible amount of irony and claimed that some liberal women vote to allow people like this to enter the nation and then complain about “Me Too” against American white men who are nothing like this.
The fact there are liberal women who vote to let people like this into the country, who then complain about #metoo against American white men who AREN’T like this, is a level of irony the magnitude of which is unfathomable. https://t.co/6i4rYCViok
