A lawyer for the truck driver who caused the deadly Humboldt Broncos bus crash says his client is one step closer to being deported to India.

Lawyer Michael Greene says Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has rejected one of two last bids for Jaskirat Singh Sidhu to stay in the country.

“The wheels are set in motion now and the (Canada Border Services Agency) is under a legal obligation to remove people as soon as possible,” Greene told The Canadian Press on Thursday.

He said he’s not sure when that might be but plans to ask for a deferral, until a previous application to restore Sidhu’s permanent resident status is decided.

“They have a mandate to move but sometimes they’re reasonable,” Greene said.

Sidhu, a rookie Calgary trucker, drove through a stop sign and into the path of the bus carrying the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League team at a rural intersection near Tisdale, Sask., in April 2018.

Sixteen people died and 13 more were injured, sparking a nationwide outpouring of grief, condolences and tributes.

But no outrage to get them off the roads and out of the country. Nope, too woke for that. Just a teary round of Kum-Ba-Ya and all is well.

The crash happened in 2018, 7 seven years ago. He’ll die of old age before the ticket is bought. But even if they get this one, there are thousands of illegal CDL licenses floating around out there to include hazmet.

Getting a HazMat (Hazardous Materials) CDL endorsement is generally not considered “hard” in terms of physical skill, but it is a rigorous process involving a written knowledge test, a TSA background check, and fingerprinting. The test is manageable with proper study of the CDL manual, and the process is more tedious and time-consuming than it is difficult. Most of the illegals that are going after a hazmet tickets should have been scrapped in the investigating process alone whether they can speak english or not.

No sympathy here. He's lucky he is only being deported. Why isnt he facing a long long prison sentence?

The tragedy took place in 2018. Before The Days of ‘Rona and the Vax Warz. Still in Canada and just now getting around to sending him back where they don’t look-both-ways-before-crossing-the-street.
