I honestly couldn't imagine wanting to stay in Canada. Just the risk of running into some of the victims or their family members, and always being the guy who did that thing. I think I would want to be as far away as possible and just disappear. I suspect for him, it's more about not breaking up the family or forcing them to move to India. It's just a tragic situation all around, and while I think the laws on this should be black and white, I wouldn't be upset if the courts eventually decide to make an exception.
The main reason why I think an exception might make sense is because as others have mentioned, I don't think he made careless choices because he was flippant about safety or ignorant. I think the industry really pushes drivers to the point that their livelihoods often depend on taking those risks. I can buy the notion that he was in essence a puppet of the industry.
