This is such a tough one. One the one hand, its possible that he really should never have been admitted in the first place. Canada needs to be more strict in who's allowed to come and study work here.
On the other hand, this man is clearly remorseful and has taken responsibillity for the twist of fate that nobody could have forseen, although there have been warnings about that driving area going back a decade.
Its tough because he's setting an insane precedent here. Its in some sense saying you can have a shitty trucking company and hire immigrants on the cheap, not train them sufficiently, and combined with the danger of that area already, allow this situation to happen and all its gonna be is a civil fine for you and deportation and/or prison for the chump you suckered into cheap labour.
I dunno. Uggh
