Drug decriminalization in Canada.
The Springfield pet-eating conspiracy theory.

🚨 Controversies and Criticism
Oliveira's content has faced criticism regarding its journalistic style and ethics:
He has been accused of perpetuating misinformation, recording interviewees without their consent, and misrepresenting them.
A British Columbia representative criticized one of his videos as "inaccurate and exploitative" and stated she was filmed without consent.
One video featured a man suffering from a drug overdose who was filmed without his consent.
He has been criticized for using "shock and extravagance" in his videos, similar to creators like MrBeast.
In one video about the Springfield conspiracy theory, an interviewee called his Haitian neighbor a racial slur.
He posted a series of videos documenting the Gorehabba festival, which received criticism from some online users and commentators as culturally insensitive or sensationalized, suggesting his portrayal gave the impression the ritual represented wider Indian or Diwali practices, despite it being specific to one village.
He has been criticized for journalistic deception, bias, and racism. He acknowledged that some B-roll footage was misrepresented but argued it didn't invalidate the message of his content.
He has also publicly called for the abolishment of the H-1B program in the U.S.
