Indian-origin truck driver Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, responsible for a fatal 2018 crash in Canada, has lost his bid to remain in the country. Sentenced to eight years for the accident that killed 16 people, Sidhu's plea was dismissed, leading to potential deportation to India. The Federal Court rejected claims of unfair assessment, stating officials considered Sidhu's record and genuine remorse. Despite facing removal, Sidhu can still seek humanitarian grounds to stay. The tragic incident occurred when Sidhu's semi-trailer failed to stop, colliding with a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos hockey team, resulting in 16 fatalities and 13 injuries.
