The court rejected the defendant's late claim of Indigenous heritage for Gladue considerations, found no credit warranted for restrictive bail conditions or rehabilitation efforts, and imposed a sentence of 26 months imprisonment with ancillary orders including lifetime SOIRA registration, lifetime section 161 prohibition, DNA order, and forfeiture of seized materials.
