“This guy killed so many people, and now the government is just favouring this guy. But the Liberal government does this on purpose because immigrants vote for the Liberal government,” a Canadian-born Punjabi trucker named Sunny says, expressing his frustration with Canada’s “dysfunctional” immigration enforcement.
The prime example of Canada’s “dysfunctional” immigration enforcement, Sunny says, is Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, who is responsible for the deaths of 16 Canadians in the Humboldt Broncos tragedy and was ordered deported to India years ago, yet still continues to find legal avenues to fight to stay.
"You're not safe here," Sunny says. "I don't understand why he wants to live here because no matter what he does, his children are never going to be able to enjoy the fruits of his father's labour," Sunny highlights, saying that the fact that Sidhu is responsible, through his negligence, for the deaths of 16 Canadians and the injuries of 13 others will never go away.
Regarding some Punjabi Liberal politicians and community members lobbying to exempt Sidhu from the law, Sunny says: "When our parents came here they had to deal with a lot of racism to overcome, and after that people really started loving Indian people -- we became really good neighbors, but you guys came here in 8 years and f***ed our reputation up."
