A judge dismissed applications on Thursday from the truck driver who caused the deadly Humboldt Broncos bus crash and was fighting deportation back to India. Jaskirat Singh Sidhu was sentenced to eig...

Edit: you’re seriously gonna argue the two are not indirectly-related. There is no hope here

What allowed or compelled those conditions? You don’t think his “bosses” ever threatened him with deportation if he didn’t bend the rules/reg one more time?

So if he had never arrived here, you think those kids were marked by the universe for some insane fate that is conserved and was meant to be?

i think that any accident that happens is an accident, regardless of the source of the human beings. jesus christ how can people be this hateful.

I don’t hate him. How can you say I hate him when I empathize with his case immensly (hence the difficult case. Him and his wife’s new life is being destroyed and I think he’s a lot more decent than many Canadians).

I also wanted and advocated for letting him stay, not sure if it was on this platform but I’m between several Reddit-type formats

Why do you make these statements without actually engaging substantively?

Why are you so willing to use racism/hate as a proxy to let his deadbeat employers (who were objecively exploiting the immigration system for frwsh meat and cheap unregulated labor) completely off the hook, and any politicians or officials they likely bribed at some point)

i am all for blaming the human that overworked this other human, and know damn well youre the recist fuck blaming a terrible tragedy on immigration.

if you want to go after business owners, awesome. but why the word ‘immigration’ is used here in any capacity shows you seem to have a different motive than holding business owners accountable for being pieces of shit to humans.

Ok

Edit: also, how do you think the fucks doing this (his bosses) get to pull this shit at all? Loose Immigration system that as always is in favor of the big employers

A regular citizen employee (economics permitting which is its own huge problem that everyone’s ok with) can just report the bullshit and hopefully be protected+ rewarded maybe.

A person in his delicate immigration situation is beyond exploitable to the point of horrors like this predictably and naturally unfolding as has been the case here and, on the unemployable side, Ali Ibrahim
