anger like his is disturbing to see

What happened to the guy who hit the Humboldt bus?

Sixteen people on the bus were killed and 13 were injured. Sidhu pleaded guilty to dangerous driving offences and was sentenced to eight years in prison. He was granted full parole last year. Lawyer Michael Greene says his client has applied to regain permanent resident status on humanitarian grounds.Jul 15, 2024

Jaskirat Sidhu Still Has Hopes



Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, the truck driver responsible for the fatal Humboldt Broncos bus crash, has requested the reinstatement of his permanent resident status.

In May, the Immigration and Refugee Board issued a deportation order for Sidhu and revoked his permanent resident status. Sidhu, originally from India, arrived in Canada in 2014.

In 2018, while living in Calgary, Sidhu, a rookie truck driver, failed to stop at a stop sign and collided with the junior hockey team’s bus at a rural intersection near Tisdale, Saskatchewan. The crash resulted in the deaths of 16 people and injuries to 13 others.
Sidhu pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and received an eight-year prison sentence, though he was granted full parole last year.

Sidhu’s lawyer, Michael Greene, states that the application for reinstatement is being made on humanitarian grounds.

“The key consideration is how a reasonable person would respond to alleviate the misfortunes of this individual,” Greene explained. “However, this must be weighed against the severe consequences of his actions. Sidhu meets many criteria for humanitarian grounds.”

Greene indicated that a decision on the application might take several months, with the entire process potentially extending up to two years. The evaluation will consider Sidhu’s integration into Canada, his family and community connections, and the best interests of his child.

Sidhu and his wife have a one-year-old child with severe heart and lung complications. Greene noted that relocating to India could pose significant challenges for the child’s health.

Families of the crash victims are divided on Sidhu’s potential deportation. Some advocate for his removal, while others support his right to stay.

The Reconciliation Action Group in Calgary has expressed its opposition to Sidhu’s deportation, arguing that it is influenced by racial biases. They highlight Sidhu’s Canadian wife and child with health issues, stating that deportation would negatively impact them.
Calgary MP George Chahal has called on federal politicians to block the deportation, asserting that Sidhu has served his sentence for the tragic incident.

Former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole tweeted in December that deporting Sidhu would not resolve the pain caused by the crash, advocating for his permanent residency to be granted on compassionate grounds while acknowledging the grief of the victims’ families.

I hope when Elbows Up Carney is elected PM he puts some money aside to figure out how to help these violent offenders. Poor Michael must have been terribly traumatized to act out so violently.

Another newly minted Canadian goes on killing spree...

Good Samaritans tried to save woman attacked by stranger, jury hears on Day 1 of murder trial

Micheal Adenyi, 29, is on trial for murder in the 2022 death of Vanessa Ladouceur

As Vanessa Ladouceur walked along 10th Avenue, headed to her early morning shift at a downtown Calgary fitness studio, she passed a man with a backpack and a bicycle who would, hours later, be charged with her murder.

Michael Adenyi, 29, faces a charge of first-degree murder in the death of Ladouceur, 31.

As Adenyi's trial got underway Monday, jurors heard an opening statement from prosecutor Carla MacPhail, who outlined the evidence expected to be called by the Crown.

On March 18, 2022, Ladouceur left her downtown home to walk to work just a few blocks away.

She walked past a man who the Crown says was Adenyi.

The man she passed began following her — first on his bicycle, then on foot, running.

He was "closing the gap between them," said MacPhail. "He continued his pursuit."

The man "bodychecked her off her feet into an alcove, where he attacked her."

The attack lasted 11 seconds and Ladouceur suffered eight stab wounds, according to MacPhail.

A neighbour who heard Ladouceur's screams ran to his apartment window, saw the assault and yelled at the attacker to stop.

Both end up at same hospital Security footage shows the man with the knife then ran from the scene.

Ladouceur was able to get up and stumbled into a nearby lobby. By then, the neighbour made it to the lobby and together with another Good Samaritan tried to help.

But Ladouceur was "very injured." She'd collapsed in the lobby and was unresponsive by the time first responders arrived.

A police officer accompanied the victim and paramedics to Foothills Hospital.

At the same time, Adenyi had turned up at the hospital, looking for help for cuts to his fingers and hands.

He'd told hospital staff he injured his hands skateboarding after falling on glass. Suspicious, they alerted police.

The same officer who accompanied Ladouceur from the crime scene to the hospital arrested Adenyi "right there at the hospital for murder," said MacPhail.

Jurors heard that a bloody knife found in the Calgary Tower parkade later came back with DNA on it from both Ladouceur and Adenyi.

Psychotic breakIn her opening statement, MacPhail told jurors it's expected Adenyi's lawyers Kim Ross and Curtis Mennie will mount a not criminally responsible (NCR) defence. That means they intend to argue Adenyi was suffering from a psychotic break and was unable to understand that his actions were morally wrong.

The Crown will argue Adenyi is criminally responsible for the fatal attack on Ladouceur.

"He pursued her until the moment was right to attack her," said MacPhail.

"He stabbed her multiple times, intentionally killing her."

The trial is set to last four weeks.
