Either change the law or follow it. if they change the law for everyone then he can stay but changing the law for one person because it's a high profile case isn't fair either.
The law is dumb but it's still the law. Maybe use this as something to change the law moving forward.

Poe, they are following the law. Nothing has changed in this case. Here's a paragraph from the article I linked to above. If you think he should be deported, that's up to you. I don't. But they aren't changing the law for this one man.

He is eligible to apply for full parole in October, after serving one-third of his eight-year sentence. But where he and Tanvir will live after he is released is yet to be determined. Under federal law, offenders who are not Canadian citizens and whose jail sentences are longer than six months can be deported. Sidhu’s only avenue to remain here is through submissions to the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA), where an officer will recommend whether he should be allowed to stay or if his case should go to a hearing before the Immigration and Refugee Board. “If they send him to a hearing, the deportation order is automatic,” says Sidhu’s deportation lawyer, Michael Greene. “They just have to prove he was convicted of a serious offence. There’s no doubt that this is.” Sidhu cannot appeal the order, but he could challenge the CBSA’s decision in Federal Court; if successful, his case would be sent back to another officer.
