This is such a tough one. One the one hand, its possible that he really should never have been admitted in the first place. Canada needs to be more strict in who's allowed to come and study work here.

On the other hand, this man is clearly remorseful and has taken responsibillity for the twist of fate that nobody could have forseen, although there have been warnings about that driving area going back a decade.

Its tough because he's setting an insane precedent here. Its in some sense saying you can have a shitty trucking company and hire immigrants on the cheap, not train them sufficiently, and combined with the danger of that area already, allow this situation to happen and all its gonna be is a civil fine for you and deportation and/or prison for the chump you suckered into cheap labour.

I dunno. Uggh

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A federal judge has reserved his decision in the deportation case of the truck driver who caused the deadly Humboldt Broncos bus crash.

Jaskirat Singh Sidhu's lawyer argued Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officials who recommended his deportation didn't factor in his previously clean record and remorse.

The CBSA has recommended Sidhu be handed over to the Immigration and Refugee Board to decide whether he should be deported to India.

Federal Court Chief Justice Paul Crampton said he would make releasing a decision a priority due to the gravity of the Humboldt case.

Sidhu was sentenced in 2019 to eight years after pleading guilty to dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm in the Saskatchewan crash that killed 16 people and injured 13 others.

Court previously heard the rookie Calgary trucker, a newly married permanent resident, went through a stop sign at a rural intersection and drove into the path of the bus carrying Humboldt Broncos players and staff in 2018.
