A recent tweet created a small frenzy on the internet for a while. The Etobicoke Creek in Canada had red water flowing in it and the video captured by hikers was quite dramatic.

The responses immediately warned people of end times and tied in recent events to create Biblical prophecy theories.
However it turns out this red water was a result of 400 litres of red dye / ink that had spilt into the creek from a company. Peel Public Works clarified about this in a tweet
Approximately 400L of red ink was spilled into the Etobicoke Creek. The Ministry of the Environment and Conservation and Parks are on site and clean up is underway.

At this time of an unfathomable health related pandemic, people are definitely very uncertain and every event and news is being analysed in various ways. Be careful and exercise caution.
