Antifascist activists in Canada became the center of controversy once again over the weekend when they were captured on video blocking an elderly couple's path as they tried crossing the street to enter a right-wing political rally.

An unidentified old man and a white-haired old lady with a walker were seen slowly making their way across the street outside a Mohawk College building in Hamilton, Ontario on Sunday when they were confronted by three masked antifa protesters.

The trio was part of a group demonstrating against People's Party of Canada (PPC) prime minister candidate Maxime Bernier, who co-founded his relatively new political party in 2018 with the support of former neo-Nazi leader Shaun Walker and anti-Muslim activist Janice Bultje of the far right group Pegida Canada, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Bernier and PPC have distanced themselves from both Walker and Bultje's views in recent months, but that hasn't stopped antifascist from opposing the pro-Canadian nationalist organization and trying to shut them down.

The three demonstrators on Sunday refused to move out of the elderly couple's way in accordance with antifa's anti-free speech, 'no platform' policy of supporters using any means necessary to deny 'fascists' an opportunity to air their views.

The elderly couple was blocked from passing on either side of the troop, which was heard shouting chants like 'Nazi scum! Off our streets!'

One of many iterations of the video has been viewed more than 5.6 million times on Twitter alone with detractors slamming the antifascists as hypocrites and bullies.

One protest organizer named Alice Smith told local reporters that the majority of demonstrators managed to express themselves without harassing helpless old ladies.

'I have never seen [the people blocking the woman] before last night,' Smith told CBC Hamilton. 'If I had been there at that spot, at that moment ... I would have stepped in to stop it, because that wasn't what we were there for.'

At least four people were arrested during violent clashes that broke out among the estimated total of 100 pro- and anti-PPC demonstrators outside the event.

Hamilton Police said more demonstrators may be arrested as they continue investigating video evidence of the incident.
