REGINA—The judge deciding the fate of a truck driver who caused the deadly Humboldt Broncos crash is a passionate former Crown prosecutor who once worked as a conservation officer and played on a boys hockey team while she was growing up in rural Saskatchewan. Provincial court Judge Inez Cardinal is to hand down a sentence Friday for Jaskirat Singh Sidhu. She worked as a Crown prosecutor in Regina, La Ronge and Saskatoon. “It was something very close to her heart,” says Matthew Miazga, a Crown prosecutor who worked with Cardinal in Saskatoon. She did educational seminars with conservation officers, travelled across North America to talk about environmental law and worked with an organization focused on environmental crime, he says.
