Sixteen people on the bus were killed and 13 were injured. Sidhu pleaded guilty to dangerous driving offences and was sentenced to eight years in prison. He was granted full parole last year.
Irrevocable harm + destroyed families + medical bills/therapy/insurance payouts for those 29 victims and their families run into the 10s million of dollars, much of the cost of which is borne by the taxpayer and all of which are borne by Canadians.
I get that he didn't mean to. Many people who kill others on the road "didn't mean to."
