Could Be?

He should have been ejected years ago:

A driver who has racked up 32 driving prohibitions or suspensions, as well as 16 24-hour driving bans, failed to convince a British Columbia judge he should get a lighter sentence than normal for drunk driving because more than six months in jail could get him deported to India.

Vernon’s Gurinder Pal Singh Bajwa, a permanent resident of Canada who escaped deportation in 2019 on an impaired driving conviction with a sentence of five months and 29 days, got a reduced sentence this time around because Mounties captured him on surveillance cameras using the toilet in a holding cell after he was arrested for impaired driving again on May 11, 2022, after rear-ending a white Hyundai Tucson with his Mercedes sport utility vehicle in the parking lot of a Wholesale Club. His blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit.

But the judge refused to lighten Bajwa’s sentence on convictions for impaired and prohibited driving to a level that wouldn’t have immigration consequences for the 57-year-old. Any sentence over six months can result in deportation from Canada.

 

He is not a victim. He is not a model citizen. He is a grotesque mockery of a human being whose choices put him where he is today.

Deport.
