What FACTLY found
The viral video is from May 2022, when MP Chandra Arya delivered a speech in Kannada in the Canadian Parliament. The Indian-origin MP posted the same video on X on 20 May 2022. This confirms the speech is old and not after his announcement that he is in the running to be the PM of Canada.
