I hardly think that Canadians should have to tiptoe around and give up using the 'thumbs-up' gesture because it means something negative on the other side of the world to a very specific segment of people. This is Canada, and we have our own customs. Shouldn't newcomers learn the Western meaning of thumbs-up so that they can live here and prosper, and not the other way around?
Far from insisting that Canadians must stop giving people the thumbs up, this video is using an over-exaggerated example to get a simpler idea across. The negative connotation of this gesture is not as relevant in Iranian society as it used to be, it was just a funny way to show that sometimes misunderstandings happen, and it's good to be aware of the reasons they might arise. Hope that helps!
PS. We're not advocating that hitting people with a purse is a viable alternative either.
