(WARNING: The contents of this story may be extremely upsetting or distressing to some viewers.) On April 6, 2018, a double-trailer semi-truck driven by Jaskirat Singh Sidhu blew through a stop sign at a rural intersection in Saskatchewan, Canada, and collided with a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos players and staff, injuring 13 people and killing 16, most of them teenagers, including Chris Joseph’s son, Jaxon.
After pleading guilty and serving roughly four years in prison, Sidhu has been on full parole since 2023. However, he has continued to dominate headlines, fighting tooth and nail not to be deported back to India.
Jaxon’s father, Chris Joseph — a former NHL player and firefighter — says Sidhu is not the remorseful man the media portrays him to be, but a "selfish" one who affected his life “in the worst way possible,” and who continues to do so by seeking an exemption from the law after having destroyed 29 families.
"The last time I ran my fingers through my son’s hair was in a morgue. He was cold, and he was beat up,” says Joseph, responding to the truck driver whose reckless driving resulted in the death of Joseph’s son Jaxon, along with 15 others, yet who continues to fight against deportation to India on the grounds that he does not want to be separated from his own son.
While most Canadians agree with his deportation order, some columnists and politicians argue that he should be forgiven and not be separated from his family.
“You tell me which child of yours you want to give up, and I will be the keyboard warrior hoping for forgiveness. It’s not about vindication — it’s about what’s right and what’s wrong, and the future of our country,” says Joseph, arguing that giving Sidhu an exemption from the law would set the wrong precedent for other unqualified drivers and signal that Canadian lives do not matter.
“Everybody has told him he should be deported — the judge, the CBSA, the Immigration and Refugee Board, the Federal Court of Appeal — and he still keeps trying, because he is looking out for himself and he really doesn’t care about anybody else,” says Joseph, urging politicians not to interfere with the judicial process and to allow him to be deported as he is supposed to be.
In this exclusive interview with Media Bezirgan, Chris Joseph addresses those who advocate against Sidhu's deportation, discusses the corruption within the trucking industry, and explains why he no longer trusts the mainstream media when it comes to this story.
