Deportation ordered for truck driver charged in deadly Humboldt Broncos bus crash

More than six years after the horrific Humboldt Broncos bus crash, the man driving the semi-truck has been ordered to be deported.
An Immigration and Refugee Board hearing was held virtually in Calgary for Jaskirat Singh Sidhu on Friday morning, where the decision was handed out.
The decision was a forgone conclusion, according to Sidhu’s lawyer Michael Greene, who has said all that’s required to deport his client is proof that he is not a Canadian citizen and he committed a serious crime.
“That happened,” Greene said Friday. “There’s no contest, which is why we conceded those points and it was over and done with within a matter of minutes.”
Sidhu was granted full parole last year.
Greene said the deportation process could take months or years. Meanwhile, Greene said he plans to file an application asking the government to return Sidhu’s permanent resident status on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.
Sarah Offin has more.

I'm not being racist but many drivers from India are driving like crazy in Canada and totally ignoring their safety and the safety of others. When I was driving in Surrey, British Columbia, I saw several drivers who are totally ignoring traffic rules and when I saw their faces, I'm sure they are from India. Those Indians who grew up in Canada and learned their driving skills here are very different from those who learned their driving skills in Indian. That's a FACT!

[@acheybones588]

^^^ this person here went driving in a municipality with one of Canada's largest concentrations of Indian Canadians, within a larger city (Vancouver) known for its nightmare drivers, and by the power of their incredible powers of deductive reasoning has determined that it's the "Indian" part of the equation that's most relevant. It would be like going to the USA (country known for the love of firearms), travelling to the whitest town imaginable, and concluding that all white people everywhere are gun nuts. Driving definitely has cultural attachments, and so you do have a point that also applies to immigrant drivers from any country; your sampling just seems inconclusive to me

Must be true. I witnessed 2 men at a truck stop in Northwestern Ontario recently and they barely spoke English and apparently couldn't read it to get coffee and snacks. I stood there wondering how these guys even got and successfully passed the written exams to acquire their class A license in Canada to begin. I also get to see the insane lack of even basic driving skills like; following too close, driving on or across yellow lines, zero consideration of fellow drivers attempting to merge, and on and on and on...

He ran through an intersection where it's so wide open, vision of travel, he would have had at least 20 seconds at 90 km/hr before the intersection. In essence, due to the circumstances, the RCMP and the local community had thought it was done on purpose due to the sheer lack of care and attention.

I'm not trying to make excuses for this guy. He killed 16 people after all. However it was an accident, now i am not saying there shouldn't be any repercussions for it. However, from my understand the company he worked for had all kinds safety violations and even think there were issues with the truck. Meanwhile here in Canada we're seeing Palestine protesters assaulting jewish people. Bomb threats to jewish schools. We had an active shooter go to a jewish school. We had a 15 year old kid research how to make a bomb and was arrested with bomb making materials on his person, and he allegedly had plans to go bomb some place with a crowd like a synagogue or something. Last christmas we saw Palestinians threatening "i'll put you six feet under" to a cop. Last year a group of Eritreans all met up in a calagary park and rioted damaging public and private propery/vehicles. They brought machetes, 2x4s, baseball bats, crowbars, and beat the hell out of one another. In their home country of Eritrea there's two groups that absolutely hate one another and are at civil war, so many on both sides applied for refugees status and came to canada, once here they realized the other group they hate is also in canada and they brought their problems from their own country to canada. We've also got the whole Khalistani movement which is considered a terrorist group/organization in India hiding in Canada. This group even has a "khalistan commando force” which is a militant group which operates in Canada as well as many other countries. Nothing screams peaceful like a militant group. These people also had a gathering/protest in Richmond or Chilliwack or this general region where they were all gathered with guns ij the open and threatening people on the street and even talked publicly how they were basically going to become politicians and get jobs of authority and take over Canada. The list goes on yet we deport someone over an accident but keep all these other people and groups in our country? definitely not right

[@BillBally]

Not an accident. He was charged with 16 counts of dangerous driving causing death also 13 counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm. Any crime you commit as a Permanent Resident that has a sentence of 6 months or more will result in deportation.

@@BillBally it was very much an accident otherwise he would’ve been charged with murder. I will agree on the dangerous driving and negligence for sure. However according to him he was distracted by a tarp flapping around on his truck. As I’ve mentioned above, Palestinians are assaulting Jewish people, not deported, they’re threatening to murder cops, not even arrested. Khalistani movement in Richmond where they threatened people and were openly carrying around guns nobody arrested or deported. More often times then not violent immigrants are not being deported. The riots in Calgary last year from Eritrea, nobody deported. There was even recently where a Pakistani national came to Canada in 2019 on a study permit, he’s been arrested at least 10 times, convicted of Mischief and he’s been open about his role in a foreign funded rebellion against the government of Canada. He was a serial blockader too blockaded airports and other things. He was set to be deported and the liberal government intervened last second and blocked him from being deported.
