Immigration Minister Sean Fraser is poised to deport Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, the driver whose tandem truck collided catastrophically with a bus carrying the Humbolt Junior Hockey team, killing 16. If he does so, it will be a triumph of blind vengeance over common sense. 1/10 From the moment of the crash, Sidhu was overwhelmed with remorse. He co-operated with police at the scene.

What fucking cowards populate the upper reaches of Canada's public service. There is no rational excuse for deporting Sidhu. Doing so is cruel and vindictive and not in Canada's interests.

cbc.ca/news/canada/sa… Ill-trained and driving a complex semi-plus-pup trailer rig, Sidhu made a small driving error with catastrophic consequences. Distracted by a flapping tarp, he ran a stop sign.

From that moment on he did everything we ask people who break the law to do. /2

The decision is flawed in several ways. 1/ The decision rests mainly on the location of Mr. Grabher's expression on a govt. owned plate (as opposed to the content of the expression)

But courts have ruled the sides of government-owned buses are public spaces to which the right of free expression applies 2/

@WilderFleming & @bob_oakes of Boston's @NPR station @WBUR take a deep dive into Nova Scotia's health care system and produce a damning report--you might say a takedown. They clearly did a lot of work, but I find it flawed in two ways 1/x

wbur.fm/2LfCEVw First, and most obviously, many of the problems they report have nothing to do with the single payer system, and everything to do with the difficulty of providing emergency care in tiny communities with plummeting populations. (2/x)
