Pleads guilty on all 29 counts. He was not distracted. He simply chose to ignore the 1.2 meter wide stop sign through the intersection without braking and through the bus, killing all those young men and paralyzing others. I hope this piece of crap gets a lot of time and I hope some relatives of the victims are doing time wherever he is sent.

He did not "ignore"the sign. He didn't see it. He did not do this on purpose, was not drinking or doing drugs, etc. Yes, the facts are that this was a large stop sign, but there have been several accidents at the intersection over the past 20 years, including previous fatalities. Apparently, there are some trees in the area that obstruct some vision of the sign there as well. He pled guilty because he said that he did not want to cause the families a pain of a trial. The guy is showing 100% remorse and will live with this forever. It was a horrible mistake.
‘I just want to plead guilty. I don’t want you to plea bargain. I don’t want a trial.’ Mr. Sidhu advised me: ‘I don’t want to make things any worse. I can’t make things any better, but I certainly don’t want to make them worse by having a trial.'”
Brayford also expressed Sidhu’s deep sorrow over everything he caused.

“He wanted the families to know that he’s devastated by the grief that he’s caused them,” Brayford said. “And he’s overwhelmed by the expressions of sympathy and kindness that some of the families and players have expressed to him in spite of the fact their grief is entirely his fault.”

Oh his lawyer said he's sorry....my apologies I guess that makes ok. The stop sign is 1,2 meters wide, he is a professional transporter of goods in a massive deadly vehicle so I will use the word ignored as it is his very basic and very simple duty to be attentive to all road signs especially massive stop signs at four way intersections when he is travelling faster than 100kms and hour!!!!! It was also pitch black of night and the bus had brigh blazing lights which also incredulously failed ti observe. There were zero brake marks. He killed all those young men through sickening crimininal negligence.
You sound like a snowflake. You and him should share a cell. His lawyer apologized for him??? What the hell do you expect him to say, that he's happy he killed them all???? Unreal comment....

Had the chance to meet one of the young men recently and it really hit home seeing him in his current state so pardon my frustrations. I meant to say it was not dark of night so bus lights were not needed. The stop sign is huge and it is accompanied with a flashing light.
The truck was headed west on 335. The bus had the right of way. The truck had to stop at a large stop sign with a flashing light.
The poster above said there had been accidents during the last 20 years which is false. A family of 6 was killed over 20 years ago when their pickup ran the stop sign and hit a semi. That was the last accident at that intersection that included fatalities. There are trees. But as a trained truck driver, driving a vehicle that will certainly cause death if impacting anything, to not see a massive stop sign with a flashing light is inexcusable. He also then fled the scene without trying to help any of the victims on the ground and was not the one that called the police according to reports. Due to shock? Perhaps but I chalk that up to character, we all react out of instinct in such situations, his was to flee the scene and not help and not call for help.

Of course he should be accountable to the fullest extent of the law. I never implied or said otherwise. What happened makes me sick to my stomach. My uncle was killed a few years back due to someone blowing a stop sign, so I get it. It hurts all the time. My point was this guy didn't do it on purpose and wishing for him to get beat up in prison isn't going to accomplish anything. It was a sickening tragedy, and it doesn't make me a snowflake if I don't believe the guy should be given the electric chair. Yes, you are right, the crash happened during the daylight. The speed limit on the road is about 60 mph and closer to the intersection it is 35 mph. The driver was 29 and looks like he wasn't driving trucks for a long time - - the investigation is still isn't complete, and so his employer could face some liability as well. We still don't know (didn't find anything on line) why he blew the stop sign in broad daylight if he wasn't impaired. There has to be an answer even if it was that he was daydreaming and not paying attention. I didn't read anywhere that he fled the scene. It is not "false" that there have been several accidents at that intersection the past 20 years. Absolutely true. I never said they all had fatalities. As you state correctly, there was an accident with 6 fatalities 20 years ago. I have read that the intersection is dangerous and some obstructions of view should be addressed. I have not driven through that intersection and neither have you - - and we don't have the official report yet from the investigators. I mourn for the victims just like you. Just because I'm not ready to have the driver to put to death doesn't mean I deserve to be in the cell next to the truck driver. Unreal comment from you Polar Bear. You don't know me or anything about me personally, so leave the personal BS out of it next time.

Actually cappy you did say there have been accidents in the last 20 years that included fatalities which is false. More than 20 years ago there was one incident that caused fatalities so your statement was false. I never said anything about anyone being put to death or an electric chair so stop making up stuff. Yes I do want him to have a tough time in prison. I drive everday in heavy traffic for a living and I see firsthand that most of these people to blow off stop signs and what not, make their own road rules and I do think he ignored the massive stop sign with the flahing light right in front of him that was completely unobstructed and it is reasonable to assume that. I will attempt to find the original article which included the fact that he fled and did not try to help the victims on the ground still alive and he was not the one that called it in. You came to the piece of craps defence I'm thinking for political reasons maybe? You do sound like a snowflake I stand by that and you can think of me whatever you like. There is also a very good chance that he had driven that route before and he knew the intersection and knew that massive stop sign with flashing light was there.

The snowflake reference came from you quoting the lawyer. He pled guilty because it is a case with no possible defence not because he feels bad i don't know if he feels bad. His actions before and after the accident don't make him seem like a caring person at all which is all there is to go on. The words of a lawyer politicking for his client mean nothing. We'll take back snowflake and go with left wing Trudeau eagle scout instead.

The Crown prosecutor in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash case is asking for a 10-year sentence for truck driver Jaskirat Singh Sidhu with a further 10-year driving prohibition after that.
Final arguments in the case are being heard today in a Melfort, Sask., courtroom.
Sixteen people were killed and 13 injured in April 2018 when the Humboldt Broncos team bus collided with a semi-trailer Sidhu was driving.
Sidhu pleaded guilty to 29 counts of dangerous driving causing death and bodily injury earlier this month. The Crown is asking for a 10-year sentence for each count to be served concurrently.
Prosecutor Thomas Healey said Sidhu had more than enough time to slow down and stop, stating it would have taken the semi more than 100 metres to stop, but the first warning of the intersection was 400 metres away. Healey said Sidhu entered the intersection "like a rocket."
"This was not just an accident," he said. "This was a crime."
He said it wasn't a case of momentary distraction, noting there were four signs in advance of the intersection, as well as a large stop sign with a flashing light. A car was also stopped directly across from him on the highway, waiting for the Broncos bus to pass.
"How do you miss all those signs?" asked Healey. "How is that possible?"
The Crown submitted 23 court cases for reference, citing one judgment which said a high number of deaths should result in a harsher sentence, and that the amount of harm caused should be relevant.
"All he had to do was stop. Just stop," he said. "And we wouldn't be here today."
