Deport Humboldt Driver

[my5cents]

Now we have that person who is not a landed immigrant or permanent resident of Canada who actually commits the crime in Canada and kills and injures a slew of Canadians. He should be allowed to stay ?

Court was told Sidhu, a newly married permanent resident, missed a stop sign at a rural Saskatchewan intersection and drove into the path of the Broncos bus carrying players and staff to a junior hockey league playoff game.

Thanks oneh2obabe, I had read somewhere that he wasn't. My bad. IMO he still should go, however.

[the truth]

they should be shut down imo

The Alberta government removed the company's safety certificate thus, shutting it down. The company was charged with 7 technical charges involving trucking management and plead guilty to :
• Failing to maintain time logs for drivers
• Neglecting to make sure drivers complied with safety regulations
• Maintaining more than one daily log for any given day
• Not having or following a written safety program

The company, Adesh Deol Trucking was fined $5000. The owner, Sukhmander Singh ceased operation of the company, but was discovered operating another trucking company under a numbered company. That company's safety certificate was suspended. Don't know if Sukhmander is running a company now or not,,, likely.

The Alberta government said that they really don't have grounds to prevent him from starting a company, but they said they'd make sure it's run properly. Ya, likely.

(edited to : calling for compassion for driver)

At some point a crime that results in such a horrific loss and tragedy, that although compassion and forgiveness is nice, calls for firm action.

If this act was so forgivable because :

• "it was just an accident"
• "the driver said he was sorry"
• "he didn't mean to do it"
• "the driver took responsibility" (what the heck else could he do)

Then why charge him with a criminal offence and put him in jail ?????

I again point out that if the driver had a criminal record in another country after committing this act that killed and maimed so many and then attempted to immigrate to Canada, he would be denied admittance. IMHO the standards for admittance to Canada should be applied to the standard for deportation.

No offence Mr. Sidhu, but we've already got enough crappy truck drivers in Canada. Happy motoring in India.

well put.....

You had a chance at a new life in a new country, killed and maimed a large pile of people. Opportunity over.

[the truth]

You've all forgotten one important factor...... this is Canada.

I say he should stay.
He will work harder than any of you to make Canada a better place. He knows he pugged up. IMO, the owner of the trucking company should be the one that is drawn and quartered. He is the one who put him in that position. Oh I forgot. Most of you have never made a mistake because the boss didn't give you the proper training? Example Stemmer crane incident. May as well send Wolfrem back to where he came from.
He made a mistake and yes people died.

Sending him to India serves no purpose.
It was a very tragic accident, and he is feeling the most remorse.

No purpose ?

If he's living and driving in India, he isn't killing people in Canada.

Accident ? We don't call a collision, cause by gross negligence and accident.

It was a level crossing, yes. The markings and pre-intersection warnings are VERY obvious. Thus, gross negligence.

People say he was a rookie truck driver. Ya, well if he was backing an 18-wheeler into a tight spot and had a problem, it's because of experience, but a stop sign is a stop sign, veteran or rookie.

So, in your opinion,,, next time he kills someone, he goes ?,, or it's OK if does it again.

Try to reflect on 16 dead people imagine that many. Then add to that, 13 injured, some very serious life altering injuries, like never walking, traumatic brain injury unable to speak or walk.

I'll drive him to the airport.

Yup. Agree. That could have happened to anyone. The federal govt is to blame for this not just him. Ridiculous working hours.
He's a criminal but not. He didn't set out that day to do harm. He came here for the punishment of being a truck driver in Canada not to harm.
If a immigrant steals something in Walmart do they get sent home? I dunno, but they intended to commit a crime. Sidhu didn't.

We hear this all the time "they didn't mean to....."

Someone drives twice the speed limit and looses control and kills someone. "They didn't mean to loose control."

It's not just the final action that dictates intent.

The speeding driver did intend on driving fast, he/she intended to speed, the result of the speed caused them to loose control and that caused the death. Chain of events.

I think we've got more than our quota of bad drivers. Bye bye.

Oh and if you say, he wasn't a bad driver. When you kill 16 and injure 13, by definition that's a bad driver.
