Every article I’ve read however does describe a remorseful and caring man with a Canadian wife and child (who I read was quite ill, unfortunately).

Ultimately whatever decision the courts make won’t have a huge impact on Canada, the benefit of deporting him would be appeasing and fulfilling the wishes of some of the victims families.

"We can't begin to heal, as long as we keep seeing [Sidhu's] face everywhere in the media and hearing the different opinions from people who have no skin in the game. This should be about the victims and their families."

I do think he will be given his PR status back and allowed to stay in Canada. For whatever my opinion on this subject is worth, I’m ok with him staying based on his actions since the accident. I personally would side with the victims that want him deported so they can begin healing too.
There are victims that seem to have forgiven him, although I don't know their position on his deportation.

I will say that sometimes the people with "no skin in the game" have the clearest vision, as it isn't tainted by the events.
