Living here while not being a citizen should be a privilege and not a right and you have to abide by our rules in doing so (he did not).
I don’t see the benefit in keeping him in Canada given what he has done. With that said I do sympathize with him and I’m sure he will be reliving that day for the rest of his life. If the courts decide to not deport him I will understand that as well, I just won’t agree with it.

These aren't well thought out ideas, so apologies if they ramble.
But frankly we will never know what is to be gained is he was allowed to stay?
I don't know this fella, but from all accounts I have read he appeared to be an honest individual that made a horrendous error. He acknowledged his mistake (& again it was ####ing horrible) and took his punishment. This seems like the sort of individual we would like to have as part of our country.
I'd like to think I emigrated (well my parents brought me at 5) to a country of compassion & empathy. Deportation of this fella flies in the face of the type of country I want Canada to be.
The whole thing is ####ing tragic.
