🇨🇦 Humboldt killer dodges deportation again — court saves him days before flight

Jaskirat Singh Sidhu was literally packing for India when a Federal Court judge hit pause on his removal. He killed 16 people, injured 13, blew through a stop sign, served barely four years before parole, and now claims his son's lung condition and his own mental health make deportation cruel. His lawyers argue India's air quality is too poor and that he might not get proper counselling because mental illness is stigmatized there. The court accepted the deferral while a humanitarian application crawls through a 17-month backlog.

So a permanent resident who caused Canada's deadliest dangerous driving case gets infinite procedural offramps while victims' families watch justice dissolve into bureaucratic theatre. His wife stays, his kids stay, he stays — and the system rewards delay. No amount of judicial empathy will resurrect those 16 Canadians, but it will protect the man who killed them from facing consequences abroad. Sovereignty is a punchline when deportation orders are this optional.
