For Humboldt trucker, what punishment is enough?

It\u2019s been six years since Jaskirat Singh Sidhu crashed a truck into a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos hockey team \u2014 killing 16 people, injuring 13 others and forever changing the victims\u2019 families.


Sidhu, a former permanent resident of Canada, has spent years in prison. Now, he\u2019s been ordered to be deported to India \u2014 which critics say is a systemic problem in our legal and immigration systems that leaves noncitizens facing a \u2018double punishment.\u2019


The Narwhal\u2019s Prairies Bureau Chief, Sharon J. Riley, joins us to discuss Sidhu\u2019s case and how it's raising questions over fairness and justice, including whether Sidhu has faced enough punishment for his actions.
