> A truck driver who spent only four years behind bars after killing half a junior ice hockey team in a horror crash is fighting deportation to India.

> Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, 36, barreled through a stop sign at 53 to 60mph and a bus carrying 29 players and staff from the Humboldt Broncos couldn't stop in time.

> The bus collided with the truck's front trailer, killing 16 and injuring 13 in the crash at about 5pm on April 6, 2018, in rural Saskatchewan, Canada.

> Sidhu was jailed for eight years in March 2019 but was released on parole after four years and four months behind bars.

> He returned to his suburban life with his Canadian wife and the couple had a baby soon after he was released, who has severe heart and lung complications.

> Sidhu's case is similar to that of Harjinder Singh, who killed three people when he made an illegal U-turn across two lanes of traffic on August 12.

> His sentence and subsequent deportation battle may be a glimpse into the future for those affected by last week's tragedy on the Florida Turnpike.

> Like Singh, Sidhu was an immigrant from India, arriving in Canada in 2014, where he eventually was granted permanent residency.

> It emerged soon after the 2019 tragedy that Sidhu had committed 70 violations of federal and provincial trucking regulations in the 11 days leading up to the crash.

> Most of those were discrepancies in his log book, which is designed to monitor how much time drivers spend on the road to prevent them becoming dangerously fatigued.

> Sidhu's permanent residency was revoked early last year and the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada ordered his deportation.

> His lawyer Michael Greene responded in July last year by applying to reinstate his permanent residency on humanitarian grounds, setting up a legal battle that could take two years.

> Greene argued the crash was a tragic accident for which Sidhu had atoned in prison and his child, a Canadian citizen by birth, would suffer in India.

> 'Now, it's against the horrific nature of the consequences of his mistake. He pretty much has everything else going for him in terms of humanitarian grounds,' he said.

> 'In this case, it really makes a difference. It would be very difficult for that child to live in India with his health conditions.

> 'So the best interests of the child is a big issue for him.'

> Families of the players and staff killed in the crash and struggling with lifelong injures are starkly divided over whether Sidhu should be deported.

> There is also support on both sides of the Canadian parliament for Sidhu's permanent residency to be reinstated.

>>1428168
> They mostly point to him having a Canadian wife and child, the fact that he served his prison sentence, and that deporting him won't bring back those who died.

> Sidhu's sentence fell short of the 10 years prosecutors asked for, but was far higher than the one to four years the defense cited in what it argued were similar cases.

> Judge Inez Cardinal, after hearing almost 100 victim impact statements, disagreed, citing the egregious facts of Sidhu's dangerous driving.

> The driver didn't brake at all as he approached the intersection of two highways, failing to heed multiple warnings, one with a flashing light.

> Sidhu wasn't impaired by drugs and alcohol, speeding, or on his phone, but told the court he was distracted by a tarp covering his cargo that came loose and was flapping in the wind.

> 'I can't even imagine what you guys are going through or what you have been through. I have taken the most valuable things of your life,' he told the victims and families in court.

> 'I was on the side of the door, with the passenger side door above me. I came out of the truck and I heard the kids crying.

> 'I take full responsibility of what has happened. It happened because of my lack of experience.'

> Crown prosecutor Thomas Healey rejected the defense calls for leniency, declaring 'This was not just an accident.'

> 'There was no where for the bus driver, Glen Doerksen, to go... He tried. He did all he could do,' he said.

> 'Mr Sidhu had more than enough time to bring the semi to a complete stop. How do you miss that? It's just astounding. All he had to do was stop. That's all.'

Fin

As much as I love my country, I despise some of its policies when it comes to people like this. Through negligence, lies and an outright disdain for the safety of those who are not him or his family this cunt of a man wants the Canadian government to pay for his childs healthcare when he himself ended the lives of 29 people? If I ran a stop sign and t-boned a car and some person got a concussion I'd be paying out the ass for the rest of my life. Fucking hell, I'm quickly turning racist against brown folk.

Lying OP is a bigot. There are no racists, as there is only one human race. Therefore OP is not a racist, he is also a human, but one of the lower humans

canada is fucked, we just had a supreme court ruling that a kid can't be treated as an adult proven beyond a reasonable doubt his capacity to think as an adult BUT also that the severity of his crimes can't be used as proof

https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/article/supreme-court-sets-standard-for-prosecutors-seeking-adult-sentences-for-youth/

so a 17 year old just got off after murdering someone in a group and is going to be out in 10years.

Our new public safety minister sworn in by carney is also a bleeding heart liberal whose pushed for the immigration of terrorists because "he didn't want families to be split apart"

https://globalnews.ca/news/11296843/public-safety-minister-gary-anandasangaree-letters-terror-group/

we are so fucked as a country, the liberals are also refusing to even implement a budget because the budget was the reason trudeau got ousted. Also fuck boomers btw, they care more about trump then literally economy housing jobs immigration and public safety.
